The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The H-1B visa has a quota of 65,000 visas per year, with an additional 20,000 visas available for foreign workers who have earned a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. university. The H-1B visa is a popular visa for foreign workers in fields such as technology, engineering, and medicine. The H-1B visa lottery is a random selection process used to allocate the 65,000 H-1B visas. The H-1B visa lottery is held once a year, and employers must submit their petitions for H-1B visas during the lottery period. The H-1B visa lottery is a competitive process, and only a small percentage of employers are selected to receive H-1B visas.
The H-1B visa second lottery is a lottery that is held to allocate the remaining 20,000 H-1B visas that are available for foreign workers who have earned a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. university. The H-1B visa second lottery is held after the regular H-1B visa lottery, and employers must submit their petitions for H-1B visas during the second lottery period. The H-1B visa second lottery is also a competitive process, but the odds of being selected are higher than the odds of being selected in the regular H-1B visa lottery.
