I may be an exception and my experience may be anecdotal, but as someone on an H1-B I think I'm seeing this as a good change. My immigrant peers working at consultancies are seeing more RFEs, and those I know to be working as direct employees are not (as often compared to consultant employees). But there's been a net increase in site visits and verifications along with RFEs to even legit applicants.
For those who dont know the process here's how and when one can get an RFE:
1) Missed a key point in the application or Immigration attorney goofed up (this happens way often)
2) Position doesn't look like it needs a high skilled engineer with skills mentioned in application
3) Grossly underpaying the H1b employee
Getting an RFE by itself is not the nightmare scenario. Its a problem if the employer is doing things using shady loopholes.
What needs to be seen is by what %age RFEs have increased at companies like Apple, Facebook, Intel, Google etc. The bigger companies use boutique immigration law firms and its rare but not impossible for them to mess up on the immigration application process.
I'm not sure what has Trump's administration done to reform the H1b system, its still as crappy as it has been. If anything certain employers were abusing the loopholes. Now its going to get tougher to abuse the loopholes.
