Although President Trump proclaimed that “Legal immigrants enrich our nation and strengthen our society in countless ways. I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever”, and H-1B visa program, created by Congress in 1990, has played a fundamental role in driving innovation and business growth in the United States for almost 30 years, there has been a dramatic increase in denials for H1-B visas, with approval rates falling from 87 percent in 2016 to 59 percent in 2017. Increased scrutiny for H1-B applications, in the form of “requests for evidence” (RFEs), jumped from 17.3 percent to 68.9 percent between 2017’s first and fourth quarters. More details, see the link
