Question #1 – H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa

What is the minimum time period for which an H1B visa can be issued? Can it be less than 3 years? If yes, what is the minimum number of years for which my employer can sponsor me for a visa?

The Department of State has released its latest Visa Bulletin.

The monthly Visa Bulletin has changed. The bulletin now summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during the reported month for: “Application Final Action Dates” (consistent with prior Visa Bulletins) and “Dates for Filing Applications,” indicating when immigrant visa applicants should be notified to assemble and submit required documentation to the National Visa Center using Consular Processing (outside of the US) or file on their own with USCIS Form I-485 (within the US).

Question #1  – B-1 Temporary Business Visitor

For how long can a person stay in US on a Business Visa (B1/B2)?

On Monday, December 12th, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in consultation with the Department of Labor (DOL), that they are issuing a temporary final rule making available an additional 64,716 H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas for fiscal year (FY) 2023! These new visas will be added to the normal 66,000 H-2B visas that are available each year. Twenty thousand (20,000) of these added visas are set aside for nationals from Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas stated, “The Department is making supplemental H-2B visas available earlier than ever, ensuring that American businesses can plan for their peak season labor needs,”.
