In the US, began accepting applications for work visas
April 1 The US Citizenship and Immigration Services began accepting documents for processing H-1B visas. Such visas allow US companies to hire a foreign specialist for up to 6 years. Under the category of H-1B are usually employees of IT, engineers, representatives of the scientific sphere. A visa is not immigration, but with it, you can get a green card.
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.
According to the Service, already in the first five days of receiving applications, the number of applicants may exceed the permissible limit. Therefore, the staff of the Service plans to hold a lottery. As soon as the system selects 65 thousands of people, the reception of documents will be stopped. This procedure is not carried out for the first time, so no failures and errors should not occur.
