Joy of Punjabis! President Joe Biden made a big announcement on the go…

In America, President Joe Biden’s administration has decided to relax the H-1B visa rules. This government decision will make it easier for American companies to hire foreign workers with special skills.

After this decision of the Biden administration, it will be easier to change from F-1 student visa to H-1B visa. This move by the Biden government is likely to benefit thousands of Indian tech professionals. These days, the process of transfer of power is going on in America. The newly elected Donald Trump is going to take the office of the President again on January 20.

The purpose of this rule, announced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is to provide greater convenience to employers and workers by modernizing it for special positions and nonprofit and government research organizations. A government statement said that this change will help American companies make appointments according to their needs and remain competitive in the global market. According to DHS, this rule also provides some flexibility for F-1 visa holders who want to convert their visa to H-1B.

According to DHS, this rule will provide flexibility to students holding F-1 visas who wish to change their status to H-1B. This will help US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) speed up the processing of applications from most individuals who were previously approved for H1-B visas.

Director of USCIS and M. Jadow said the H-1B visa program was created by Congress in 1990, and there is no doubt that it needs to be modernized to support our nation’s growing economy. The new rules will come into force from 17 January 2025. All visa petitions thereafter will require the nonimmigrant worker to file a new version of Form I-129.
