The study finds premises on which new restrictions have been proposed for H-1B visas are mistaken, overstated or based on incorrect information. The study recommends Congress expand the number of green cards and H-1B visas without burdening employers or visa holders with new rules and limitations that will harm the competitiveness of U.S. companies.
