Why do less than 0.5% companies provide work visas audited by H- 1B in the United States?

According to American media reports, on June 29th, local time, an immigrant job-hunting exhibition was held in new york, USA. A number of lawyers said at the exhibition that USCIS's examination of H- 1B work visa has become more and more strict in recent two years. In 20 18, the number of "compulsory supplements" increased by 45% compared with two years ago. For H- 1B,

Sam Udani, one of the organizers of the immigrant job exhibition and the founder of an immigrant daily newspaper, said that among the 6 million companies in the United States, only 25,000 employees applied for work visas, accounting for less than 0.5%. Among these 25,000 companies, only the former 1000 companies provide 70 work visas every year.

However, most job seekers don't know which companies handle work visas for employees and the number of work visas before submitting their resumes. Udani said that job seekers should first inquire about relevant company information online, but don't blindly invest only in large companies, but should "take a multi-pronged approach" to seize the opportunities of small and medium-sized companies.

Lawyer Taylor pointed out that in the past two years, H- 1B has been under strict scrutiny. After the applicant obtained H- 1B in 20 18, the number of cases that the Immigration Bureau requested RFE increased by 45%, many of which were because they did not meet the minimum wage standard and could not prove that the work met the special type of work. It is estimated that in 20 18, under the trend of strengthening the examination of work visas, whether the work meets special types of work is still an important factor for the immigration bureau to inspect.

Lawyer Troy Palmer also pointed out that in the past two years, the Immigration Department has examined the information of employees applying for work visas more carefully, starting with the initial documents of applicants applying for work visas, so the preparation materials should be very detailed.

Lawyer Feng said that many companies in the United States can be qualified as market analysts and programmers as long as they graduate from high school and have several years of work experience. Therefore, it is difficult for many international students who have graduated from universities or graduate students to pass the exam if they want to engage in related majors. Therefore, business owners must state in their application documents that these positions require more complex skills, and those who need advanced degrees can be competent.
