United States To Modify H1B Visa Selection Process
By: Tupaki Desk | 8 Jan 2021 7:28 AM GMT
Most of the technology companies in the United States depend on the H-1B visa to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from various counties. However, the current H-1B visa system, the lottery system, has become difficult for companies to hire the best and brightest international workforce.
Joe Biden's appointment as the new President of the United States has been finalized. He will be sworn in as the 46th President of the US in a few days. At this moment, the country is moving towards several key decisions. As part of this, changes will be made to the H1B visa selection process.
The US has said it will amend the selection process for the H-1B visa, giving priority to salary and skills instead of the current lottery system. Officials said the changes are being made with the financial interests of U.S. employees in mind and that only skilled foreign workers would benefit from these visas.
The final rule will be effective 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The next H-1B visa filing season is slated to start on April 1.
