Changes to US H-1B regulation makes temporary work visa flexibility easier

The apex institution of the Department of Homeland Security of the United States of America has released a statement on its official website that its latest job regulation change will help highly skilled workers working in the US on a temporary work visa H-1B to adapt comfortably if their job situation changes. The way the current regulations work is that if an employee gets a promotion or has to change his/her job then there is fear of losing their lawful immigration status as the visa is connected to their employer and their occupation profile on which the visa is granted. This will be made easy if the regulations come into force.

The new rules suggest that H-1B work visas that are not valid for more than a period of six years can offer petitions to stay back in the US after expiry of their visa towards a permanent residency through a green card. There is broadened utilization of applications for green cards alongside the stringent cap options for granting them by the Department of Homeland Security. Numerous workers have end up with elapsing work visas before their green cards got confirmed. The wait for the answer to their green card application depends on the country from which the workers came, with discrete cutoff points for each nation. What this means is that many employees in wait have to move back to their home country as they wait for the result, which proves quite costly for them.

As far as the new changes have specified on the most recent H-1B visas is at 65,000 consistently. An additional 140,000 permanent employment based visas are offered each year. Under the most recent arranged H-1B regulations, those living in the US will have the capacity to stay till their applications are audited.
