This Benefits H1B Visa Holders In The US

Q&A: Where we stand after the H-1B second lottery
The H-1B nonimmigrant visa is one of the most popular work authorized visa options among U.S. employers, but the overwhelming demand exceeds the limited supply since H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap of 85,000 visas, with 20,000 specifically reserved for individuals with a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services receives more H-1B registrations than there are visas available (which has been the case for more than a decade ), the agency randomly selects who can file an H-1B petition through a lottery system. After USCIS conducted a second H-1B lottery selection for Fiscal Year 2025, our inboxes were flooded with questions from clients.
The future of H-1B under a potential second Trump term

Federal Appeals Court Rules Trump Proclamation Eliminating Asylum is Unlawful
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court today ruled that President Trump’s Day 1 proclamation aimed at completely shutting down asylum at the border is unlawful. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s claim that the “212(f)” proclamation allowed the president to summarily deport asylum seekers who cross the border without allowing them to seek protection as required by Congress. The appeals court held that the government cannot subvert the laws Congress passed with extra-statutory procedures to block people from seeking asylum, which puts tens of thousands of lives at risk.
