December 14, 2023 Paola Calero

On October 23, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register to “modernize the H-1B specialty occupation worker program.” There is a sixty-day notice and comment period for the proposed rule, and the public is invited to submit comments on the Federal Register website.

The proposed rule sets out to impose changes to the H-1B program, as well as to codify a number of existing rules. We must point out that the proposed rule is quite lengthy; therefore, our summary does not cover all of the proposed changes. We will outline a few of the most notable proposed changes below which we feel may be of most interest to our community.

In honor of the celebration of Hanukkah, we thought it festive to share the lanterns at Brookfield Place! The display titled “Luminaries” was created by LAB at Rockwell Group, a design studio focused on creating “memorable and evocative experiences by merging story, architecture, and technology.” Unlike other light shows, spectators are able to control the colors of the lanterns themselves or they can sit back and observe one of the scheduled light shows. Located in the Winter Garden in Brookfield place, this display is available to enjoy throughout the holiday season until January 6!
