Highest H-1B visa approval rate in a decade
January 4, 2022
In a decade, USCIS announced that the US H-1B visa for skilled workers has seen the highest approval rates. Between October 2020 and September 2021, the H-1B visa approval rate has reached 97.3 percent. USCIS received a total of 398,267 petitions for initial and continuing employment. The US government recently canceled a rule under the Trump administration which sought to replace the current lottery system of granting H-1B visas with a wage-based system. In September, the US District Court for the Northern District of California vacated the Trump-era rule, resulting in the Department of Homeland Security withdrawing the changes.
