According to a new
study by the National Foundation for American Policy, H-1B denial
rates for cap-subject petitions has risen “from 6% in FY 2015 to 24% through
the third quarter of FY 2019”. Perhaps
more amazing, 12% of extension/amendment H-1Bs are also being denied.
This NFAP study updates prior NFAP
H-1B studies from April
2019 and August
2019. All of the NFAP data is
collected from the USCIS Employer Data hub.
These denials have a grave impact on
US healthcare, especially in rural areas who are increasingly relying on
foreign-trained labor to augment incredible staffing shortage. Among the most popular occupations for H-1Bs
are: Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapists, and Medical Technologists.
MU

get your case approved. AGENDA
