America is going to start a pilot project on H-1B and L1 visas. This can benefit thousands of Indian IT professionals. Under this project, America is going to start revalidation of domestic visa.
Actually, till 2004, H-1B visa was renewed in America only. But since 2004, migrant workers working in America have to return to their country to renew it. But under this new pilot project, H-1B visas will be renewed in the US only. That is, any migrant worker will not have to go to his country to get it renewed.
Only a few people will benefit in the beginning
Spokesperson of the State Department said – In the beginning of this pilot project, which will start at the end of this year, only a few visa holders will get the benefit. In the next one or two years, when this project will be fully implemented, then thousands of Indian IT professionals living in America will be able to get a big relief.
What are H-1B and L-1B visas?
- H-1B visa is usually issued to those people who are associated with a particular profession (such as IT professional, architecture, health professional, etc.). Only professionals who have job offers can get this visa. It totally depends on the employer. That is, if the employer removes the job and does not offer another employer, then the visa will expire.
- L-1A and L-1B visas are available for temporary intracompany transferees who work in managerial positions or have specialized knowledge. Under the L-1B visa, companies are allowed to send employees to the US for at least one year. It is given to such people who do not go there to live permanently.
