H-1B Visa Renewal Pilot Program Expands to Include Indian and Canadian Visa Holders

The Department of State has introduced the State Side H1B visa Pilot Program, allowing H1B visa holders to apply for visas and renewals within the United States. The program will accept applications from January 29 to April 1, 2024, with an initial limit of 20,000 applications. However, there is a catch - applicants must have had their H-1B visa previously renewed by Mission Canada or Mission India during specific timeframes. The pilot program aims to test the Department's ability to process visas in the country and reduce global visa wait times.

US Launches Pilot Program for H-1B Visa Renewal, Limited to Indian and Canadian Holders

The Department of State (DOS) has released details of the H-1B visa renewal pilot program, set to launch on January 29, 2024, which will allow visas to be renewed domestically within the US. The pilot program will initially cover 20,000 participants, half of whom will be from India.

The eligibility criteria for the pilot program have been outlined, and the DOS will begin accepting online applications from January 29, 2024.

H-1B Visa Renewal Made Easier for NRIs in the US

The US State Department has released details of a pilot program for H-1B visa renewals, allowing a limited number of specialty occupation workers to apply for visa renewal in the US. The program will accept applications from January 29 to April 1, 2024, with an initial limit of 20,000 participants. Eligible workers must have received their visas in India or Canada within specific date ranges. Dependent H-4 visa holders are not currently eligible. The program aims to reduce workloads on consular offices abroad and provide certainty for workers and their companies. The option for domestic visa renewal is expected to eventually alleviate wait times for all appointments and remove barriers to business travel for temporary visa holders.
