premium-processing-of-h-1b-visas


The US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced on 18 September 2017 that it recommenced premium processing of H-1B Visa Petitions subject to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Cap. H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States which permits US employers to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that need theoretical or technical expertise. In order to handle the enormous rush of new petitions, premium processing of H-1B Visawas suspended in April this year. A settlement is made on each application within 15 calendar days for a fee of $ 1,225 under this programme. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will refund the petitioners premium processing service fee and continue with hastened application processing if the 15 calendar day processing time is not met. The service is available for pending petitions, not new submissions as the USCIS received adequate number of petitions in April to fill the FY 2018 cap. Premium Processing is of great help to Indian IT Companies when H-1B Visas are required, in a short period for urgent business purposes. During the time of suspension of premium processing in April, USCIS said it might last for six months and would help in dealing with long-pending petitions. The nation has a cap of 65000 H-1B Visas for the general category and 20,000 additional visas are for people with a US masters or higher educational degree from a recognized institution. For randomly selecting the petitions the USCIS uses a computer-generated process also known as the lottery.
