The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has for the third time delayed introducing its proposal for a promised major change to the controversial H-1B visa program.

Homeland Security said two years ago that in order to cut “fraud and abuses” in the H-1B program while obtaining the “best and the brightest” workers from around the world, it would change the definition of what constitutes a “specialty occupation.” The agency’s new rule would also re-define “employment” and the “employer/employee relationship.”
