100K H-1B Visa Rule: Public Comment Period Now Open at USCIS 2026

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has initiated a public comment period for a proposed rulemaking identified as USCIS-2026-0298-0001, which appears to relate to H-1B visa regulations, potentially including a 100,000 cap or related numerical limitations on H-1B visas. Public comment periods are a critical part of the federal rulemaking process under the Administrative Procedure Act. They allow individuals, businesses, immigration attorneys, and advocacy groups to formally submit feedback that agencies must consider before finalizing any rule. While the Reddit post itself contains minimal content — primarily serving as a pointer to the official comment portal at regulations.gov — the underlying proposed rule could have significant implications for employment-based immigration, including EB-3 applicants whose employers may also utilize H-1B visas as part of their workforce planning. EB-3 applicants and those navigating employment-based immigration are encouraged to review the full proposed rule on regulations.gov and consider submitting comments before the deadline. Public participation can influence the final shape of immigration policy. To submit a comment, visit: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/USCIS-2026-0298-0001
