Each year, 85,000 applicants are selected in the H-1B visa lottery. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, there were 780,884 applications for H-1B visas in the 2023 computer-generated lottery, up 61% from 483,927 last year. This has prompted the government to investigate cases of fraud within the system.
In "US agency raises ‘serious concerns’ about tech visa lottery," Partner Andrew Greenfield speaks to the Associated Press about the H-1B lottery and potential reasons why there may be a rise in applications.
