H-1B visa Immigration Reforms

US tech companies mostly rely on H-1B visas to recruit employees annually, particularly from countries like India and China. H-1B visas are in high demand and are typically granted for three years and are non-immigrant visas. These visas enable US companies to hire foreign workers with specialized skills in fields that require theoretical or technical expertise.
