Immigration authorities in US have released final rules to ensure higher number of H-1B applicants with advanced degrees from US institutes get an advantage during the filing season that starts on April 1st 2019. Further, online registrations for H-1B visa petitions will not be introduced this year as the platform for registration needs more testing before full implementation, said US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in a statement on Wednesday.
“These simple and smart changes are a positive benefit for employers, the foreign workers they seek to employ, and the agency’s adjudicators, helping the H-1B visa program work better,” said USCIS
