The United States will make it easier for Indians to live and work in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"PM<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The State Department could announce as soon as Thursday that a small number of Indians and other foreign workers on H-1B visas will be able to renew those visas in the US, without having to travel abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last two decades, temporary visa holders have been required <\/a>to travel to a U.S. consulate abroad to renew their visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the visa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian citizens are by far the most active users of the US H-1B program and made up 73% of the nearly 442,000 H-1B workers in fiscal year 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the U.S. government makes 65,000 H-1B visas available to companies seeking skilled foreign workers, along with an additional 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visas last for three years and can be renewed for another three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilot program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be part of a pilot program that could be expanded in coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability for some of the temporary foreign workers to renew visas in the U.S. would free up resources for visa interviews in consulates abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot program would also <\/a>include some workers with L-1 visas, which are available to people transferring within a company to a position in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We all recognize that mobility of our people is a huge asset to us,” said another U.S. official. “And so our goal is to approach that in a sort of multifaceted way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State Department already has been working very hard to find creative ways to make changes to things.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The pilot would begin with a small number of cases with the intention to scale the initiative over the following one to two years,” the spokesperson said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steps could change and are not finalized until they are announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempt to clear backlog<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate initiative to clear a backlog of visa applications at U.S. embassies in India is finally showing signs of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. visa services are still attempting to clear a backlog after Washington halted almost all visa processing worldwide in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This backlog has led to some families being separated for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
