The Department of Homeland Security issued a final rule. First of all, this rule excludes the Interim Final Rule (IFR) from the CFR. It was first published in October 2020. However, it has since been overturned by a federal district court.
On October 8, 2020, DHS released an IFR titled Strengthening
the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program. On December 1, 2020, the US District Court for the Northern District of California overturned the IFR.
This final rule removes the normative text published by DHS in the October 2020 exempt IFR. In addition, the rule restores normative text to what it looked like before the October 2020 IFR.
