US govt proposes change in H1B application process

Washington, Dec 2 (IBNS): The United States has proposed new change to the H1B rules to help those with advanced degrees from U.S. universities over regular H1B applicants.

It could potentially bring down the costs for sponsoring companies.

This will have a significant impact on Indians because 74% of H1B petitions were on behalf of India-born workers in the fiscal year 2018.

According to reports, only those H1B sponsoring employers who get selected from the list of registered petitioners will be required to actually submit H1B petitions, for both regular and advance degree categories.
