2020財年允許美國公司聘用外國勞工的H-1B工作簽證申請，已于當?shù)貢r間4月1日開始。當?shù)貢r間4月5日，美國移民局(USCIS)發(fā)布通知，宣布已收到65000個H-1B工作簽證的常規(guī)名額。美國移民局接下來將統(tǒng)計20000個高學歷(碩士及以上學位)豁免名額是否也達到申請上限。
據(jù)了解，如果移民局收到超過85000份申請，則需要啟動抽簽制度。但2019年的抽簽順序發(fā)生了變化，從先抽取高學歷豁免名額、再抽取常規(guī)名額，改為先進行常規(guī)名額抽簽，沒中簽的高學歷申請者再進入二輪抽簽。美國移民局表示，總名額不變的情況下，新規(guī)可讓高學歷申請者的中簽率增加16%。這也意味著，在美獲得學士學位、在外國獲得高學歷的申請人，中簽及獲取H-1B工作簽證的人數(shù)將減少。
目前，美國移民局已不接受2020年的H-1B工作簽證申請，但將繼續(xù)接收和處理其他已獲得H-1B工作簽證持有人的申請要求，其中包括：延長現(xiàn)有H-1B工作簽證持有人的留美時間、變更現(xiàn)有H-1B工作簽證持有人的就業(yè)條件、允許現(xiàn)有H-1B工作簽證持有人變更雇主、允許現(xiàn)有H-1B工作簽證持有人同時在第二個職位工作、美國企業(yè)使用H-1B工作簽證雇用外國勞工從事專業(yè)職業(yè)等。

USCIS Reaches FY 2020 H-1B Regular Cap
USCIS has received a sufficient number of petitions projected as needed to reach the congressionally-mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap for fiscal year 2020. USCIS will next determine if we have received a sufficient number of petitions to meet the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap.
The agency will reject and return filing fees for all unselected cap-subject petitions that are not prohibited multiple filings.
USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap. Petitions filed for current H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap, and who still retain their cap number, are exempt from the FY 2020 H-1B cap. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions filed to:
Extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the United States;
Change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;
Allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and
Allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in a second H-1B position.
U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. We encourage H-1B applicants to subscribe to the H-1B Cap Season email updates located on the H-1B Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Cap Season page.
