Every year beginning on April 1, the Department of Homeland Security begins accepting new work visa petitions from U.S. employers seeking to employ foreign high-skilled workers. These high skilled temporary workers may begin working on a H-1B visa starting on October 1 – the beginning of the new Fiscal Year.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) accepts these H-1B Temporary Nonimmigrant Worker visa petitions until they have reached their congressional cap limit of 65,000 petitions. This number is typically reached within the first 5 business days after April 1st.
If you or a loved one has questions about the H-1B temporary nonimmigrant work visa, contact our Los Angeles immigration lawyers now for a free consultation.
