Legal H-1B Visas Scrutinized By Trump Administration

The Trump administration has publicly focused on cracking down on undocumented immigration, but it has also taken steps to limit legal immigration.

That has specifically affected workers applying for H-1B visas, as the number of denials rose dramatically in the last quarter — as well as the number of requests for evidence.

Those are used to look more deeply into the efficacy of an application and can involve information on the H-1B petitioner or a past employer.

To talk about how the crackdown on H-1B has affect tech companies and Arizona, Stephen Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council, joined The Show.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
