US to Receive New Petitions for H-1B Visas from August 2

From August 2, 2021, the US will start accepting new petitions for H-1B visas, particularly the registrations accepted early from the week prior by applying a random selection process to meet the cap for the fiscal year 2022. Over 308,000 applications were received by the US immigration agency in June 2021 during the initial registration period for the H-1B work permit for 2022. That is a 12.5 percent increase over this year. So far, 87,500 applicants have been picked to receive their high technology work permit.

 

The selection processes

 

USCIS used historical data related to denials, approvals, revocations, and other significant factors to determine the number of registrations to meet the H-1B cap for the fiscal year. They added that they needed to pick additional registrations to reach the targeted number.

 

It’s important to note that USCIS follows the October to September financial year, so they will continue to accept fresh petitions until November 3.

 

That said; H-1B petitions cannot be filed online. Petitioners must do it on paper and they must provide a printed copy of their applicable registration selection notice with the Fiscal Year 2022 H-1B cap-subject petition.

 

The selection process was random and the second to be done this year, with the first being done in March 2021. Only the petitions with selected registration for FY 2022 are eligible, and for those with selected registrations for that fiscal year, the initial filing period was from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.

 

What is H-1B?

 

H-1B is a nonimmigrant classification applicable to those who want to come to the US and work in a specialty occupation, services of exceptional merit and ability related to cooperative research and development projects for the DoD (Department of Defense), or to serve as a fashion model of distinguished ability.

Fresh Information from the US Border Post: New President Overturns Trump Immigration Policy

  A group of asylum seekers were recently allowed entry into the US, a move that represents President Biden’s rejection of the previous Trump administration’s border policy. The group was chosen from tens of thousands of hopefuls who were forced by the Trump administration to wait in Mexico while their asylum applications were being processed. During the previous administration, a policy known as ‘Remain in Mexico’, often called one of the most controversial border measures in history was strictly enforced.   For the handful of lucky asylum seekers who were picked, this is a fresh start. They are considered the most vulnerable, so they were given priority. If you or someone you know are looking to move to the US legally, you will want some help from a competent New York immigration lawyer who is constantly up-to-date with the latest border policies. The Biden administration is gradually clearing the backlog that has accumulated in the Tijuana border. The objective is to process
