USA Immigration - H1-B
15th May, 2007 - 1:41am / Post ID: #

H1B Visa

This is the most seeking visa in the US because it is one that Immigration considers as "Dual intent", meaning the worker will apply for permanent residency. This year the cap was 85,000 (65,000 for skilled workers and 20,000 for those with advanced degrees). The earliest date Immigration accepts the application is April 1st, can you believe the ANNUAL quota was filled before the day was over? They receive 130,000 applications and they had to randomly select 65,000.

There is a bill in the Congress that hopes to increase the 65,000 to 115,000 for 2009. The category for advance degrees would disappear if the bill is approved.

President Bush:

international QUOTE
WASHINGTON -- President Bush yesterday called for an increase in the federal cap on H-1B visas, an issue he said he feels "Strongly" about and wants to work with Congress to make happen.

Bush did not mention H-1B visas in his Tuesday address to Congress, but at DuPont he told employees: "I also want you to know I understand that we need to make sure that when a smart person from overseas wants to come and work in DuPont, it's in our interests to allow him or her to do so." His remarks were included in a transcript of his speech to the DuPont workers.

"We've got to expand what's called H-1B visas," said Bush.

The president went on to say, "I feel strongly about what I'm telling you. It makes no sense to say to a young scientist from India, 'You can't come to America to help this company develop technologies that help us deal with our problems.' So we've got to change that…,  change that mind-set in Washington, D.C. I know we can work together on that."

Visa HB

Name: Williams

Comments: I'm on H1B visa which will be expired the beginning of 2007 (already extended once for 3 years). My lawyer told me that I could extend yearly while waiting for my labor cert to be approved.

Does anyone know if I decide to resign and happen to get a new job that they're willing to sponsor for H1B, will I get another H1B starting as year one again? My lawyer told me that if the job is similar, we can use the same labor cert application but I think my new job would be a bit different than what I'm doing.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

Visa HB

An interesting thing I just read is that on May 2015, Obama made a change. In the past, a spouse of an H1B visa holder couldn't work. Now they can apply for a work permit with no restrictions which includes, self-employment or even start a business. See: Source 3h

Is the H1B visa to the USA going to end under a Trump led government or is it just going to be streamlined somehow?
