H–1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act

This bill would exempt H-1B visa workers in the health care workforce from a September 19, 2025 Presidential Proclamation that restricts entry of H-1B workers unless their petitions include a $100,000 payment. The exemption would cover people who are employed in, or have a job offer in, the health care workforce as defined in an existing federal health law. The bill would also bar any fee on these workers that is higher than the fee already set in a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
