The Department of Homeland Security will give businesses more flexibility to hire highly skilled foreign-born workers through President Obama’s executive actions.
As an update to the current employment-based immigrant visa system, the Secretary of Homeland Security has directed USCIS to consider a few practical changes.

The Secretary also recommended that USCIS consider any other potential changes that would make the application process more accessible and stable to any such highly-skilled applicants and beneficiaries.
