What is H-1B Visa?
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialized occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on it to hire thousands of employees every year from countries like India and China. Each year the US issues 65,000 new H-1B visas, while another 20,000 are reserved for US masters degree holders. Indians are among the biggest beneficiaries of this visa program, receiving around 70 per cent of the new visas issued every year.
