The H-1B visa program is used by some U.S.employers.
Typical H-1B occupations include architects, engineers, computer programmers, accountants, doctors, hotel managers, college professors and many other fields.
The current annual cap on the H-1B category is 65,000.
Not all H-1B nonimmigrants are subject to this annual cap.
H-1B nonimmigrants who are employed, or who have received an offer of employment, by institutions of higher education or a related or affiliated nonprofit entity, as well as those employed, or who will be employed, by a nonprofit research organization or a governmental research organization are exempt from the cap.
The H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004 makes available 20,000 new H-1B visas for foreign workers with a Master's or higher level degree from a U.S. academic institution. For each fiscal year, 20,000 beneficiaries of H-1B petitions on behalf of persons who hold such credentials are statutorily exempted from the cap.
