The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialised fields. “US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will resume premium processing for certain cap-exempt H-1B petitions effective immediately,” an official statement said on Monday. The H1B visa cap is of 65,000 visas for each fiscal year. The federal agency also plans to resume premium processing of other H1B petitions as workloads permit. Until then, premium processing remains temporarily suspended for all other H1B petitions.
