The H-1B cap lottery<\/strong> is likely to have its worst year ever in 2023. According to experts, the number of registrations for approximately 85,000 new H1B visa petition <\/strong>approvals this year could reach 500,000. In a recent post, a US immigration lawyer<\/strong> named Robert Webber provides additional explanations for the same. Check out this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electronic Registration: H1B Visa 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The system, which was first launched in 2020, is a great idea in theory because it has the potential to simplify the entire procedure<\/strong> for employers. However, in reality, it is quite impractical<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new system allows for a great deal <\/strong>of speculative filing, which may have been restricted by the older system due to the use of entry barriers. <\/strong>The number of filings has skyrocketed now that there is no barrier to entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the number of registrations went from 274k up to 308k<\/strong>, and in 2022, the same stood at 483k.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US job market remains robust: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The US Department of Labor reported on Friday that the economy of the United States added 223,000 jobs<\/strong>. That is, there are 1.7 jobs <\/strong>available for each applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since one of the ‘easiest ways to get into the job market’ <\/strong>is to have a consulting company sponsor you for an H-1B<\/strong>, the demand is likely to rise further now that the United States has a robust economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H1B Visa Layoffs at tech companies: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if an F-1 student<\/strong> is already employed by Amazon, Twitter, or Meta, their chances of being selected in the lottery <\/strong>are bleak amid high-profile tech layoffs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having the \u2018regular\u2019 risk<\/strong> of not being chosen in the lottery due to excess demand. You have the additional risk <\/strong>that even if chosen, your position might be eliminated,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous year’s lottery losers: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From March 2022 on, a record number <\/strong>of people registered for the lottery, resulting in a record number of lottery losers<\/strong>. Additionally, many of them plan to try again this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow PERM labor certification process: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Employers are willing to sponsor some graduates from countries other than India and China for PERM.<\/strong> They then try to get them through PERM, through the I-140\/I-485 process<\/strong>, and into an EADAP work\/travel document without having to deal with the H-1B cap.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The procedure is extremely slow, despite the clever strategy. Therefore, if the F1 to green card process<\/strong> does not take place, these candidates will also push for H-1B sponsorship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, for those going from F-1 to EB-2 NIW<\/strong> to a green card, or being sponsored for a green card through PERM. Additionally, even if these candidates have enough time to get to the I-140 stage. The emerging issue of Visa Bulletin cut-off dates <\/strong>for ROW (Rest of World). This means that individuals who would like to do an end-run on the H-1B cap lottery<\/strong> are unable to do. So, adding yet another group of individuals seeking the finite capped visas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
