Rajiv's News Clips - Trump administration fires another bullet on H-1B program: Random lottery to be replaced with wagebased selection process - Times of India

Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv on the article:

“USCIS is proposing changes in the H-1B selection process so that the H-1B quota selection is made from the highest wage down. This looks more like an election stunt than regulations that are properly thought out,” Rajiv S. Khanna, Arlington based, 1/3 managing attorney at Immigration.com told TOI.

Khanna adds that “I see several legal problems with the proposed regulations including an attempted interpretation of a statute that is quite clear already. An agency cannot interpret a law that does not need to be interpreted. USCIS has tried to justify the regulations partly based upon the power of emergency and ensuing executive orders from the Trump administration. This justification has recently been rejected by California courts holding that a declaration of emergency does not give the President unlimited power to change the laws, especially, domestically.”
