The State Department’s Pilot Program for Domestic H-1B Visa Renewals: What Employers Need to Know

On January 29, 2024, the U.S. Department of State will begin accepting applications for its highly anticipated stateside visa renewal pilot program, which aims to reduce visa application backlogs at U.S. consulates abroad. For the first time in nearly 20 years, a limited number of H-1B nonimmigrant workers will be eligible to renew their visas from within the United States. In this webinar, the speakers will discuss the pilot program’s eligibility criteria, timelines, and what to expect moving forward.
