The H-1B visa program in the United States operates through a lottery system when the number of applications exceeds the annual cap. This randomized selection process determines which petitions will be processed for the limited number of available visas.
In India, this lottery system significantly impacts technology professionals and companies seeking to send skilled workers to the U.S. Many Indian IT firms and multinational corporations with operations in India participate in this annual lottery process.
Indian professionals working in fields like information technology, engineering, healthcare, and finance often pursue H-1B visas through this lottery-based system. The uncertainty of selection has led many Indian companies to develop contingency plans and explore alternative global mobility options.
Local Indian products and services have emerged to support H-1B applicants, including immigration consulting firms, legal services, and preparation workshops specifically designed for Indian professionals navigating the lottery system. |
