H-1B visa system more restrictive than ever for high-skilled foreign workers in the US

H-1B visas are crucial for high-skilled foreign nationals, including international students, to work in the US and become employment-based immigrants and U.S. citizens.

However, only 20% of new H-1B applications result in approved workers, making the H-1B visa the most restrictive category in the U.S. immigration system, reports the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).
