Relaxation of some rules for H-1B visas

The Trump administration has relaxed some rules for applicants who are currently outside the country will be considered a visa if they meet a certain set of criteria, said the US Department of State. Applicants who want to resume their employment in the US in the same position with the same employers will now be allowed as forcing employees to replace them which may cause financial hardship, said the US Department of State in a new set of exemptions issued on Wednesday.

Similar will be applicable for L1 visa applicants as well. The new rules allow senior-level employees in critical infrastructure sectors including healthcare and information technology. Whole roles are vital to the management and success of the business to get the visas. The department has issued a set of five guidelines, and applicants must meet at least two out of five to be considered for visa.
