I am not sure about the claim by one tweet cited in the article that the approved number per year is exceeding the limit of 85k to 800k. I understand that the limit can be exceeded (transfers and academic positions mainly) but I am not sure that would give x10 increase above the limit.
Does anyone with more understanding and good numbers weight in about that?
- ritcgab 2y ago85k is new visas. Old visas need renewal every few years and that needs a new application and approval. In addition, if a visa holder changes their job, they need to transfer their visa to the new employer. That also counts. No matter what the real numbers are, the 85k ceiling is strictly enforced, meaning the program introduces up to 85k new people per year, excluding their dependents. Their dependents cannot work in the US though.
