Immigration lawyers say the H-1B chaos is forcing tough business calls

Summary
Recent changes to the U.S. H-1B visa system are prompting companies to tighten their sponsorship policies and rethink staffing strategies. New rules have increased costs and compliance risks for employers, including significantly higher filing fees and stricter scrutiny of applications. As a result, many companies are becoming more selective about whom they sponsor, prioritizing renewals for existing H-1B employees over new hires.

The changes are also expected to favor higher-paying employers under upcoming adjustments to the H-1B lottery process, making it harder for startups, small businesses, and nonprofits to compete for foreign talent. In response, some companies are reducing reliance on H-1B visas altogether and exploring alternatives such as other visa categories, overseas hiring, or shifting work to foreign offices.

Overall, the new H-1B rules are reshaping corporate hiring behavior by increasing caution around visa sponsorship, limiting opportunities for foreign professionals, and accelerating broader shifts toward global and offshore workforce strategies.
