The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. This visa is an essential pathway for skilled professionals to work and live in the United States, contributing significantly to the American economy and innovation sectors.
The H-1B visa was established by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and has undergone several amendments to address the changing needs of the U.S. labor market. The Immigration Act of 1990 introduced the numerical cap on H-1B visas, currently set at 65,000 visas per fiscal year, with an additional 20,000 visas for individuals holding a U.S. master’s degree or higher. Over the years, the H-1B visa has evolved to balance the demand for highly skilled workers with the need to protect the U.S. workforce.
