Guest worker H-1B visa holders in the US, including more than halfmillion from India, can breathe easy — at least for one year at a time.
US immigration officials have clarified they are not considering a regulatory change that would compel H-1B visa holders to leave the US after the six-year limit. However, they left open the possibility that there would be rule changes that will allow H-1-B visa holders who are having their green card processed to remain in the US only one year at a time — instead of the current threeyear extensions — making the whole process more tedious.
