Has it? All that has been done is a study of potential H-1B reforms that is still under way. I'd bet that nothing changes in the next two years. The puppet masters wouldn't want it any other way.
On top of that, this has scared off a lot of companies from even looking at H1-Bs while hiring.
Its just a painful endless wait, which can get over in a few days or in worst case in more than a year
Ours is not a small company. It's a decades old US company, who anyone who can guess 5 companies on the S&P 500 would know of.
It is fair to call this increased scrutiny.
