Planning to Apply for an H-1B Visa? Everything You Need to Know for FY23 Registrations

    Updated on: 27 Oct 2023 4 min read


    Latest Update: As per the latest update by the US Department of State, students seeking US visas will have to pay $185 instead of $160 starting May 30, 2023.

    Indians wanting to go to the US for work have to apply for the H-1B visa, a non-immigrant visa type for foreigners. The visa process aims to enable employers based in the US to employ foreign nationals as specialists. Different sectors in the US use this option to hire foreign nationals for specialized occupations, and Indians take the biggest part of total H-1B visas issued. The specialists from areas like medicine and health, architecture, engineering, mathematics, social sciences, education, business specialities, accounting, law, theology, and the arts can apply for an H-1B visa on the official page of USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services).

    Every year more than 70% of the H-1B Visa applicants are from India. So the chances of getting the visa for Indians is certainly more than nationals of other countries. If you have a master’s degree from the US then the chances increase even more. Ensure that all the information you have provided is true to the best of your knowledge since any discrepancy will automatically erase your name from the prospective visa applicants.
