In which US city is it easier to get a work visa
The use of the services of highly skilled foreign workers who are employed on an H-1B visa is concentrated mainly in the major cities of the east coast, as well as in Texas.
This is evidenced by data from a study conducted Pew Research Center based on statistics for 2010-2016 years.
The H-1B visa program is the largest temporary employment program for foreigners in the United States. About 247 H-900B visa applications—1% of the U.S. total during that period—were approved in New York. Dallas and Washington had 29 and 74 applications approved, respectively, with Boston in fourth place with 000 applications. The data was obtained from US Citizenship and Immigration Services and includes information on approved H-64B visa applications.
The record for approved applications is College Station, Texas, where 32 approved visa applications for H-1B for 100 workers are recorded. For comparison, in no other city were there more than five confirmations of H-1B for 100 workers.
Despite the widespread belief that highly skilled workers come mainly in Silicon Valley, 2010 2016 visa applications H-22B were approved in 200-1 in 2-XNUMX, which amounted to XNUMX%.
Nationally, foreign workers with H-1B visas earned an average of 80 600 dollars per year from 2010 to 2016. Bridgeport, Connecticut, had the highest average salary for such workers (100 200 dollars per year), followed by Seattle (98 100 dollars per year) and Phoenix (97 100 dollars per year).
About half (49%) of approved applications for H-1B visas in recent years have been filed by foreign workers with a higher education (master’s or higher academic degree).
