Friday, January 12, 2024

The U.S. Department of State’s Visa Revalidation Pilot program for qualified H-1B nonimmigrant visas will begin Jan. 29, 2024. Each week, the State Department will release approximately 2,000 application slots each for individuals whose most recent H-1B visas were issued by Mission Canada and by Mission India (approximately 4,000 combined total each week). 

The pilot program is limited to 20,000 applicants seeking to renew H-1B visas previously issued by Mission Canada or Mission India within certain specified periods.
