H-1B Visa Vetting Tightened 2025 under Trump: Rejection Rules

Following steep filing fee increases, the Trump administration has tightened H-1B vetting, issuing clearer rejection criteria. USCIS will more strictly assess specialty occupation proofs, wage level justification, employer-employee control, end-client documentation, and third-party worksites. Expect more RFEs, site visits, and denials for incomplete evidence. Tech employers and foreign professionals must upgrade compliance, documentation, and timelines for 2025 filings and renewals.
