USCIS has confirmed that it has approved H-1B visas for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) administrative roles, indicating there are no legal avenues to reverse these approvals. This announcement comes as the agency has not yet released data on the recent H-1B lottery, making it premature to assess any changes in denial rates.
Key Details:
- H-1B visas for DEI roles have been approved by USCIS.
- No data released on the recent H-1B lottery results.
- The new $100,000 fee primarily affects IT outsourcing companies sponsoring foreign workers outside the U.S.
- Domestic applicants, especially those on Optional Practical Training (OPT), are not impacted by this fee.
The implications of these developments are significant for both employers and prospective immigrants navigating the H-1B visa process. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
