Intel, Microsoft Among Companies Pushing Back-Door H-1B Increase
"With Congress due to recess tomorrow, advocates of [H-1b increases] have given up on winning immediate change. Now they're hoping members of Congress will focus on the issue in the lame-duck session late this year," the Washington Post reported. "'It is incredibly difficult to pass major legislative reforms in any areas, and they tried to bite off a lot,' said Jenifer Verdery, a policy director for Intel Corp., which has lobbied for more skilled foreign workers. 'We've made a strong case, and we're hoping to take that to the finish line . . . if there is any policymaking left to do after the election.'"
