On September 18, 2026, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Departments of State, Labor, and Homeland Security to adopt changes aimed at ensuring compliance with H-1B program requirements.
What the order calls for
- Increased coordination among the three agencies
- Additional measures concerning H-1B program integrity
- Additional measures concerning H-1B enforcement
What this means for employers
The order directs the agencies to act, so specific changes will come through later agency guidance and rules. Employers should expect closer review of H-1B compliance and keep their records in order.
