WASHINGTON - The Trump administration's move to curtail H-1B visas widely used by foreign technology workers in the US survived an initial court challenge.
But in a ruling Wednesday , US District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington declined to bar the administration from imposing the visa restrictions while the legal challenge to them plays out. The president's visa order freezes through the end of the year new H-1B and H-4 visas, widely used by technology workers and their families, as well as L visas for intracompany transfers and most J visas for work- and study-abroad programs.
