H-1B Visa Issues

The H-1B visa allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialized fields, such as technology or healthcare. However, issues arise from the limited number of visas available each year, often leading to a lottery system for applicants. Employers must provide evidence that the position requires specific skills and that the worker is qualified. Concerns also include job displacement for U.S. workers, underpayment of H-1B employees, and potential abuse of the system. Changes in immigration policy can further complicate the process, impacting both employers seeking talent and foreign professionals looking to work in the U.S.
