H-1B visa permits US employers to hire or bring highly skilled workers worldwide as long as they are eligible for it.
There is an annual cap for an H-1B visa, which is 65.000 visas. The statistics released by the authorities indicate that a large proportion of people could use the H-1B visa; whether employees or employers.
The USCIS has announced that the number of received registrations is enough. So the registration is over and ready for the 2023 fiscal year.
The released data says that the USCIS has received about 85.000 registrations for the next year. This number is a lot more than the quota.
The applicants can see the status of each application by logging into the USCIS registration portal:
