US Will Accept New H-1B Visa Petitions for 2020

H-1B Visa 2020
USAWork in the US

UPDATE: The USCIS has announced that the amount of applications they will accept for 2020 has been reached. They are no longer accepting applications for H-1B visas.

Recently the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) announced that they will begin accepting new H-1B visa petitions on April 1st, 2019 for the 2020 year. Those who apply for the H-1B visa will have an employment start date of October 1st. Just as the previous years have stated the H-1B visa will have a cap limit for 2020 of 65,000 individuals. An additional 20,000 petitioners who have a Master’s or higher degree from a US university will also get the H-1B visa.

In the previous year, H-1B visa has been capped for 2019. There has been a crackdown and overall negative comments around the H-1B visa so many immigration lawyers believe there will be fewer H-1B applications than previous years.

There has been several changes to the H-1B visa and their visa holders in the last 2 years which has made many people wary of the visa. Those who wish to apply for the H-1B visa must apply before April 1st, 2019 in order to obtain the visa for 2020.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
