Update 07/18 : Trump administration is considering to remove OPT extension. H4 EAD removal also in queue.

Update 07/15 : Some chatter on social media. H1b with approved I-140 might get EAD by Oct. This is in conflict to anti-immigration sentiment across the US. Also, it goes against every immigrant /. non-immigrant travel ban Trump initiated in the last few months.



Trump quoted today about new changes to the immigration system. He is signing a new EO. Details are yet to emerge.

My guess is the new EO will hurt legal immigration most. If Trump does something good for H1b folks, his followers are not going to be happy.

This is just my guess. New changes might include :

1. Remove H4 EAD to protect American jobs. This requires change in law. Unlikely to happen through EO but they will find a loophole.
2. Remove STEM OPT extension to protect American jobs. This will require change in law. Unlikely to happen through EO. A temporary ban may get introduced.
3. Permanently remove diversity lottery system
4. Provide 5 year path to American citizenship for DACA people. Politically motivated.
