Trump admin lost H-1B visa fight in its dying days

The Trump administration lost its fight against H-1B visas – used by US companies to hire foreign workers for high skilled jobs, most of them from India – in its dying days.

It was beaten by US courts.

In the last two quarters of financial year 2021 – from October 2020 to March 2021, most of which was Trump administration – the denial rates of new H-1B visas went down to 7.1% from 28% over a comparable period in 2020, says new research from the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), a non-partisan think-tank, based on data published by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
