US migration authorities have exhausted the limit for visa applications H1B
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced 7 on April 2016 of the year that in five working days the number of applications submitted for an H-1B visa for the 2017 fiscal year exceeded the rate set by the US Congress.
This year, there has traditionally been a restriction on issuing visas of this type. In 2016, 65 of thousands of foreigners will receive them. And 20 thousands of people who have a master's degree. Under the category H1B, IT workers, engineers, and academics usually fall under the heading. A visa is not immigration, but with it, you can get a green card.
Since the number of applications exceeded the available limit, USCIS will hold the lottery. Due to the large number of applications, the Service cannot yet announce the date of the lottery.
This procedure is not carried out for the first time, so no failures and errors should not occur.
It is worth noting that USCIS will continue to accept and process applications that do not fall under the limit of Congress.
Detailed information on obtaining a working visa H-2B can be found on page uscis.gov/h-2b or call the service center 1-800-375-5283.
