A new report released by the US Department of Homeland Security<\/strong> shows that India-born people continued to bag a significant portion of H-1B visas<\/strong> allotted during fiscal 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During fiscal 2021, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved 4.07 lakh H-1B applications<\/strong>, a figure slightly lower than that of the earlier year, which remained at 4.26 lakh<\/strong>. In the two years, India-born people bagged more than 74%<\/strong> of the approved visas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the H-1B applications<\/strong> approved in 2021, 74.1%<\/strong> were from India (as opposed to 74.9%<\/strong> in the earlier year). In numerical terms, these translate to 3.01 lakh and 3.19 lakh<\/strong> successful beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indians bagged 3.01 lakh H-1B visas for FY 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

China, the second most common nation of birth, lagged behind significantly with just 50,328 <\/strong>China-born people obtaining an H-1B visa –<\/strong> this was 12.4%<\/strong> of the total approved during 2021. Similarly, in the earlier year, 51,597 <\/strong>China-born people (or 12.1%<\/strong> of the total) were successful in obtaining an H-1B visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, the highest number of H-1B applications<\/strong> that were approved during fiscal 2021 were of workers in computer-related occupations. 2.80 lakh<\/strong> people were from this sector, which is 68.8% <\/strong>of the total approved applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest educational attainment of 56.6 % of beneficiaries <\/strong>with an approved H-1B petition <\/strong>in FY 2021 was a master\u2019s degree. Moreover, 33.7 % <\/strong>of approved petitions were for workers with a bachelor’s degree, 6.8 %<\/strong> had a doctorate, and 2.9 %<\/strong> had a professional degree. With an overall median age of 33 years,<\/strong> of the people who acquired an H-1B visa, the median salary worked out to $ 108,000 <\/strong>a slight rise of 6.9%<\/strong> over fiscal 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
