For the 6th year in isang row, during the first week of the filing season U.S. Citizenship at Immigration Services (CIS) received more than enough H-1B visa petitions to exhaust the coming fiscal year’s annual supply of 85,000 visas.
By way of the H-1B visa program, Estados Unidos. companies have an avenue to recruit and employ foreign professionals and skilled workers in a wide variety of fields and industries, ranging from technology, healthcare, medicine, engineering and business. Combining a low U.S. unemployment rate, a limited annual supply of visas, and a highly attractive pool of prospective foreign workers, including recent international student graduates of U.S. university programs, H-1B visas have become increasingly more difficult to obtain.
Notwithstanding these factors, ang kasalukuyang administrasyon, under the guise of protecting American workers, has made the process of getting a petition approved substantively more difficult, with the implementation of unprecedented, heightened adjudication standards and policies. Sa kabilang panig ng barya, some legislators, including prominent Republicans, have introduced measures to expand the yearly supply of H-1B visas, seeing that the U.S. is losing out on opportunities sa attract and keep the best and brightest candidates to fill critical positions.
Samantala, as has become an all too familiar standard operating procedure, CIS will conduct a lottery in the coming month or two to select “winning” visa petitions for consideration from the overflow amount received. Tulad ng sa mga taon nakaraan, the volume of H-1B filings received is likely to exceed the available supply by a margin of at least 3 sa 1. Once chosen for consideration, the H-1B filing will be reviewed pursuant to the applicable statutory rules and regulations, kasama, katulad ng nakasaad sa, bago, heightened standards, adjudication policies.
