Issuing new H-1B visas to more Indians would add to this agonising painful wait for green cards, Immigration Voice said in a statement. Issuing new H-1B visas to more Indians would add to this agonising painful wait for green cards, Immigration Voice said in a statement. The statement came in response to the Biden administration’s decision to allow employers of H-1B visa holders to begin registration online for the H1-B Visa lottery, starting March 9th this year, for the fiscal year 2022. As mandated by the Congress, each year, the US issues 85,000 new H-1B visas. Of these, approximately 70 per cent of those new visas (or nearly 60,000 visas) are issued to workers from India, Immigration Voice said.
