H-1B Visa Processing Begins
Filed Under H-1B Visa
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has started processing the 2007 batch of H-1B applications. Approximately 65,000 visas are available, most of which will be granted in the next six weeks.
In 2006, federal officials granted 65,000 H-1B visas by May, a new record in the speed with which the visas were given.
Immigration attorney Steve Navarre of Des Plaines says, “This year, it’s the worst ever. If it stays open a week, that’ll surprise me.”
