The government agency in charge of giving special permission for people to work in the United States said they’ve given away all the spots for H-1B visas for the year 2024. They had 65,000 for everyone and another 20,000 for people who studied a lot in the United States.
As a result, the immigration office won’t take any more requests for these types of visas for the year 2024, unless it’s for some special situations or for people who already have this type of visa and are working in the U.S. right now.
Soon, the immigration office will send messages to people who signed up but didn’t get picked for the special work visas in 2024. They’ll send these messages online, showing that they weren’t chosen for the visas.
Even though they’ve filled up all the spots, the immigration office will still work on certain requests that don’t count in those limits. This means they’ll help people who already have this special work visa and want to stay longer, change their job details, find a new boss, or even have more than one of these special jobs at the same time.
The H-1B program helps American companies hire people from other countries for special jobs they need help with. To get the newest news about this program and how many spots are left, the immigration office wants people to sign up for emails from them.
