As the person coming here, the pot helmet will come to tell you

Things about the 2020 H-1B lottery,

And what are the precautions!

1. H-1B, what exactly is it?

The H-1B visa is a work visa issued to U.S. companies for hiring foreign nationality and skilled employees. As long as you have an undergraduate degree or a master's degree or higher in the United States, you can apply for an H-1B visa. H-1B quota is only one per year85,000.

Obtaining an H-1B work visa is currently one of the main ways for international students to stay and work after graduating from OPT.The maximum time allowed for each work visa is3 years.With the exception of I-140 labor immigration approvals,International students and other applicants can work in the United States on a H-1B work visaUp to 6 years.

 

Jobs that meet the H-1B work visa can be full-time or part-time. Of course, the position that the employer gives the applicant must meet the Specialty Occupation (professional position) identified by the Immigration Department. Specialty Occupation means that the position requires at least a bachelor's degree or similar qualifications as the entry threshold. This decision gives the Immigration Bureau a relatively large subjective judgment authority. The Immigration Bureau will according to the size of the employer, the complexity of the business scope of the employer, the position The complexity of the case and the decision of the Ministry of Labor to give a case by case decision on the position itself.

Immigration Department audits85,000 new work visa application (cap-subject),among them20,000 visasReserved forHolders of master's and higher degrees obtained in the U.S..65,000 visasIs forHolders of undergraduate and similar degree experience and above (including master's degree and above).These 85,000 places are for applicants seeking employment in the United States worldwide, so there is always in short supply every year, and not every applicant who receives an offer from a US company has the opportunity to obtain it. Therefore, the Immigration Department will conduct an H-1B lottery every year to draw these 85,000 tickets from a large number of applicants, and then review based on individual cases to determine whether they are eligible for H-1B. In previous years, the rate of drawing lots was about 30%, that is to say, only 3 applicants who participated in the lottery could get admission tickets reviewed by the Immigration Department.
