Washington: A federal agency in the US has announced that the H-1B visa application registration process for the next fiscal year will begin on March 9 and successful participants in the computerized lottery draw will be informed by March 31. A federal agency announced this.
This notification of US citizenship and immigration services came a day after the Biden administration announced that it would uphold the traditional lottery system of issuing work visas to foreign professionals.
USCIS announced that the initial registration for the H-1B visa for FY 2022 would begin at noon on March 9 and last until the afternoon of March 25. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to hire professionals with expertise.
Technology companies rely heavily on it and employ thousands of employees from countries like India and China every year. The agency said that if it has received sufficient number of registrations by 25 March, then it will send the notification of the selected people by 31 March by randomly selecting the registration.
