Wages, US Workers Focus in Specialty Worker Visa Changes

The H-1B visa, under which ­employers petition for foreign workers who hold at least a bachelor's degree, has been in the news this week. The largest percentage of H-1B visa holders are employed in technology fields, though workers in education, health care, finance, engineering and many other fields also obtain the visas. On Monday, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that they received approximately 199,000 petitions from employers seeking H-1B ­status on behalf of employees for Fiscal Year 2018. As the law makes only 85,000 new H-1B visas available each fiscal year, more than half of the employers and employees will be disappointed in their ability to keep jobs in the United States. While the cap was exceeded, the number of petitions this year was down almost 16 percent from last year's record of 236,000 petitions.
