Denial rates for new visas for services companies were higher than the average refusal rate of <strong>21%<\/strong>. For the first three-quarters of the fiscal, except for Tata Consultancy Services (<strong>15%<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations like Tech Mahindra, L&amp;T, and <strong>Infosys<\/strong> reported denial rates of <strong>30%, 26%, and 58%<\/strong> respectively. Along with organizations like Cognizant (<strong>48%<\/strong>) that follow a comparable business model. Conversely, US tech organizations like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook reported a lot of lower visa refusals at <strong>7%, 1%, 3%, and 1%<\/strong> respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USCIS follows the October to September financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is in line with what has been going on in the <strong>last few years<\/strong> of the <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> government. Where the visa system has become stricter for organizations placing employees in <strong>third-party<\/strong> locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>US visa Denial Rates for Indian Companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The refusal rate for new <strong>H-1B petitions<\/strong> for initial employment rose from 6% in <strong>FY 2015 to 21%<\/strong>. Through the third quarter of FY 2020, said Stuart Anderson of the NFAP. &#8220;This is in with with the <strong>21%<\/strong> denial rate for H-1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2019 and the <strong>24% <\/strong>refusal rate in FY 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June, the USCIS pulled out <strong>two earlier<\/strong> memos on the agreement and itinerary requirements and employer-employee relationship. Which were utilized to deny an enormous number of <strong>visa applications<\/strong> by services organizations. Anderson said information for the subsequent quarters will show whether the rescission of the notices has an impact on <strong>H-1B denials<\/strong>. The interest for <strong>H-1B visas<\/strong> remains very high. With the agency receiving around <strong>275,000<\/strong> applications for the 85,000 <strong>new visas<\/strong> that are given every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.h1btransfersusa.com\/blog\/new-h1b-visa-rules-what-it-means-for-indian-professionals-after-us-court-scraps-trumps-hiring-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">New H1B Visa Rules: What it means for Indian professionals after US court scraps Trump\u2019s hiring law<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The denial rate for H-1B petitions for &#8216;proceeding&#8217; <strong>employment<\/strong> or applications for <strong>existing visa holders <\/strong>was 10%. In the first quarter of FY 2020, contrasted with <strong>3% <\/strong>of H-1B petitions for continuing employment in FY 2015 and <strong>5% <\/strong>in FY2017. The organization didn&#8217;t give this information for the second and third quarters of <strong>FY2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to cases for initial employment. Among the most recent top 2<strong>5 employers <\/strong>with the most approved H-1B petitions for continuing employment in FY2019. <strong>10 organizations <\/strong>that provide information technology or different services to businesses had refusal rates of <strong>11% or higher<\/strong> for H-1B petitions. For continuing employment in the first quarter of FY 2020,&#8221; said Anderson. Product organizations, which mainly employ <strong>H-1B visa holders <\/strong>in a single location. Demonstrated much smaller increases in their denial rates between FY 2015 and the first quarter of <strong>FY 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Visa denial rates
