H-1B visa approvals soar to highest in quarter to June since Trump became President

PUNE: The United States has approved 95.5% of the total H-1B visa applications filed in the third quarter of the ongoing fiscal year, the highest ever since President Donald Trump took power.

The data is for the quarter ended June 30, days after Trump suspended new non-immigrant visas, including the H-1B and L-1, through a Presidential Proclamation citing threats to American jobs.
