Are you talking about Hart-Celler or 1990?

1990. The 1990 law was a compromise that kept H visas as a nonimmigrant temporary worker visa. The 1990 law created EB-1 visas, which are explicitly immigrant visas. So there was a clear intent to reserve the guaranteed permanent residency pathway only for people meeting very high standards.
