A California congressman, backed by U.S. technology companies, is pushing for the House to consider legislation that would narrow the number of eligible candidates for H-1B visas that are awarded to highly skilled foreign workers.
Darrell Issa, a Republican who sponsored the measure, has been told the bill is likely to be considered by the chamber next month, according to spokesman Calvin Moore.
