Biden administration begins reversing Trump’s damage on H-1B and immigration

As he had promised, Joe Biden went to work immediately after getting sworn in on January 20. His team set out to reverse the damage the Trump era did to H-1B visas and to the US immigration system.

The Trump Administration had made changes through three types of actions: policy changes, regulatory changes, and executive orders. Each type of action requires a different type of approach for reversal.

On January 20, The White House Chief of Staff issued a memorandum that directs the agencies to take some actions and “consider” (nicer way of saying – do it) certain others.
