With the H-1B visa becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain, founders are exploring alternatives for moving and scaling their businesses in the United States. Unlike the H-1B’s cap of 85,000 visas, the O-1 visa has no limit on the number of approvals and typically processes applications within 4 to 6 weeks.
Key Details:
- H-1B visa limit: 85,000 per fiscal year.
- O-1 visa: No cap on approvals.
- O-1 processing time: 4 to 6 weeks.
- Increasing costs and complexity of H-1B applications prompting the shift.
