New DHS Rule Redefines Specialty Occupation for H-1B Petitions

The DHS’s final rule introduces important updates to the definition of “specialty occupation,” placing a stronger emphasis on the direct connection between a degree and job duties. Employers must now meet stricter criteria to demonstrate that a role qualifies for H-1B sponsorship, ensuring that only highly specialized positions are eligible.
With these changes taking effect in January 2025, understanding the updated guidelines is crucial for employers and petitioners alike.
