SEC. 5. INVESTIGATION AND DISPOSITION OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST H–1B EMPLOYERS. ‘‘(H)(i) The Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services shall provide the Secretary of Labor with any information contained in the materials submitted by employers of H–1B nonimmigrants as part of the petition adjudication process that indicates that the employer is not complying with visa program requirements for H–1B nonimmigrants. ‘‘(ii) The Secretary may initiate and conduct an investigation and hearing under this paragraph after receiving information of noncompliance under this subparagraph.’’.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text contains H-1B employer investigation and information-sharing provisions aimed at enhancing executive branch enforcement against noncompliance, but this is still only an introduced bill absent enactment evidence.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-13 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment was to support passage of legislation enhancing investigation/enforcement against work-based nonimmigrant visa fraud. Verified evidence shows McCormick introduced a bill that was referred to the Judiciary Committee, which is a material legislative effort attributable to him, but it does not show enactment or passage. Because the promise concerns support for passage and no deadline has expired as of 2026-10-13, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
