## Summary

**This bill would phase out the H-1B visa program and sharply narrow who can qualify.** It targets the H-1B route over a defined timetable and restricts Medicare-funded residency training for noncitizens. - It would set annual H-1B caps that begin at 10,000 in fiscal year 2026 and step down each year until the cap is zero after fiscal year 2035. Employers that rely on H-1B workers outside the narrowed health occupations would lose most access. - It would remove the fashion-model H-1B category and add a requirement that applicants keep a foreign residence they do not intend to abandon. During the phase-out the only specialty-occupation H-1B workers allowed would be physicians, surgeons, and nurses. - It would bar Medicare-funded residency programs from training individuals who are aliens as defined in immigration law, affecting hospitals that use Medicare funding for residency slots and prospective foreign trainees.
