US to launch domestic work visa renewal programme in December, Indians to benefit most: Official

-
The United States will initiate a pilot program in December for the domestic renewal of certain categories of H-1B visas, benefiting Indian technology professionals. This program, limited to 20,000 participants, aims to reduce wait times for visa appointments and prevent individuals from traveling abroad for renewal. The state department plans to expand the program to more categories of workers throughout 2024. The upcoming federal register notice will provide detailed information on eligibility criteria. The positive impact on over one million H-1B visa holders, many of whom are Indian, has been well-received.
