  2. Green Card Backlog: In October 2020, the Trump administration announced plans to reduce the backlog of green card applications by increasing the number of visas issued to certain categories of immigrants, such as skilled workers and family members of U.S. citizens.
  3. H-1B Visa Changes: In June 2020, the Trump administration announced changes to the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The changes aim to prioritize higher-skilled workers and reduce the number of visas issued to lower-skilled workers.
