The Bay Area Council, Stanford University and a host of educational and business groups are suing the administration of President Donald Trump over new rules for the controversial H-1B visa program relied on by many Silicon Valley technology companies.

The administration earlier this month imposed additional regulations on the program, which is intended for skilled workers. Among the changes are a new one-year limit on placement of workers at third-party firms, more-restrictive definitions of what jobs and employment relationships qualify for the visa, and increased minimum pay.
