H1-B visas users are recognized by larger number of jackpot system.  Critic of growing the visa pool assert that the visa, outlined to bring workers with additional skills are now being misused to keep a secure workflow of IT developers in USA with often at the damage of American born workers and recent computer engineers degrees. Advocate of the visa tell that it guide them find global talent and bring them to states where that flair pool is much not bigger than it is in high tech states like Silicon Valley and Boston. The USCIS also renews visa form for another three years. The government agency says it doesn’t know how many H1-B visa containers are employed in the U.S. at this time. Severally 3 lakh petitions are organize yearly base to forward in foreign workers.

The Leading newspaper in India “TOI” reported that Teoatia met with Commerce Secretary William Ross and members of congress to debate the visa part of the services trend which supports the American economy to be more aggressive.

Still, immigration attorneys predict an ultimate securing of the previous policies, which essential the Indian IT sector to get batter proof that they can’t hire an US based citizen jobs.

The delay is good for as long as six months and means no new appeals may be organized in that session. Most attorney start their filings in September. Applications are due end of March.

"There's been a peaceful group hardness for the expansion of the visa service even previous US president under Obama, but there is not a lot of congressional support," says Gregory Palakow, a partner and chair of Archer’s Immigration and Homeland Security Group. "I don't expect new US president Donald Trump to knee-cap H1-B, but I don't await an expansion either. And if we find legislations that the IT outsourcing companies are rejecting American workers to hire foreign ones then we will have a big problem, but no one has actually showed closely at that. Maybe if someone can impact Trump on immigration reform and he accepts the argument that these skilled workers are good for the U.S., then you'll see an expansion."
