Updated October 29: AASA, in partnership with the National School Attorneys Association, will submitted comments on the proposed rule with recommendations on support school districts through this program. Read the full comments here. 

In September, the Trump Administration announced changes to the H-1B visa program, which allows employers to temporarily hire foreign workers for specialty occupation positions. Many school districts use this program to fill critical vacancies, especially in rural areas where staff shortages are more acute.

Two changes were announced:

1. The Administration will require employers to pay $100,000 per petition to be considered. This will only impact new petitions after the effective date of September 21, 2025. Petitions or applications submitted prior to the date are exempt. The proclamation provides that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may make exceptions to this rule鈥攂y individual, company or industry鈥攊f the 鈥淗-1B specialty occupation workers is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States.鈥� 萝卜AV视频is working to get K-12 education as an exception.
2. DHS to create a weighted selection process that would generally favor the allocation of H-1B visas to higher skilled and higher paid individuals. Every year, the program petitions exceed the cap of 65,000 workers. To address this, DHS uses a lottery system to provide approvals. This proposed rule, if implemented, would create wage levels and enter petitions with higher wage levels into the selection pool more than once on a sliding scale (i.e. wage level IV would be entered into the selection pool four times, wage level III would be entered into the selection pool three times and so on). The wage levels will be determined by the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) - which takes into account occupation and geographic context. Salaries are not compared broadly across all occupations. This means that experienced teachers will be prioritized under the proposed rule.  The comment period closed on October 24. AASA, in partnership with the National School Attorneys Association, will submitted comments with recommendations on support school districts through this program. Read the full comments here.
