High-Skilled Integrity and Fairness Act of 2017 This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: (1) eliminate the per-country limit for employment-based immigrant visas, and (2) increase the limit for family sponsored visas. The bill revises: (1) the H-1B nonimmigrant visa (specialty occupation) program, including by revising the definition of "exempt H-1B nonimmigrant"; and (2) the computation of prevailing wage level for purposes of occupational classification. The bill provides that H-1B visas will be allocated on a three-tiered wage-based system if H-1B visa petitions exceed the number of visas available for a fiscal year. An employer may not reduce H-1B wages, except for taxes, garnishments, or under a collective bargaining agreement or where otherwise customary. The bill reserves 20% of fiscal year H-1B visas for employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees, including parent, subsidiary, and other affiliated entities. The bill authorizes dual intent for F-1 visa foreign students. (Dual intent is an immigration concept that allows aliens to be temporarily present in the United States with nonimmigrant status and immigrant intent.) Students may use work experience as qualifying labor certification experience. An amended H-1B petition shall not be required where a petitioner has a valid labor condition application for a new place of employment that has terms and conditions of employment that are the same as the previous place of employment. The receipt of information from an employer for H-1B hiring purposes shall not be considered to be the receipt of information for purposes of determining employer compliance with labor condition requirements.

Support policies that address the systemic professional talent shortage in the U.S. while continuing to meet near-term needs. The U.S. has for many years experienced a shortage of highly-skilled technical professionals. A qualified workforce is essential to the U.S. economy and the success of the IT and engineering staffing industry. TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training. Further, to meet near-term needs, Congress should provide access to a reasonable number of IT and engineering professionals on H-1B visas without any policy changes that discriminate against U.S.-based IT and engineering staffing firms.

Support policies that address the systemic professional talent shortage in the U.S. while continuing to meet near-term needs. The U.S. has for many years experienced a shortage of highly-skilled technical professionals. A qualified workforce is essential to the U.S. economy and the success of the IT and engineering staffing industry. TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training. Further, to meet near-term needs, Congress should provide access to a reasonable number of IT and engineering professionals on H-1B visas without any policy changes that discriminate against U.S.-based IT and engineering staffing firms.

Support policies that address the systemic professional talent shortage in the U.S. while continuing to meet near-term needs.

TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training.
