Overview
- Filed on January 2 as H.R. 6937, the measure would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to abolish the H‑1B category.
- The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means committees for initial consideration.
- No hearings or votes are scheduled, and the legislation remains at an early procedural stage.
- Greene left the House on January 5 after introducing the bill, framing it as part of her long‑standing opposition to H‑1B.
- The move lands as policy tightening continues, including a $100,000 fee on many new petitions, expanded social‑media vetting, and a shift to wage‑ and skill‑weighted selection that could particularly affect Indian nationals and U.S. tech employers.
