美国移民局周五在其官网宣布,已经完成了2020年度H-1B签证所有中签者的数据录入工作。在川普政府近日宣布了他的全民移民改革方案、要求更偏向高学历、高技术移民之后,H-1B签证的未来走向也受到高度关注。
移民局表示,在数据录入完成后,已经开始发还未中签者的申请,并会在这一过程完成后再次公告。但由于申请量巨大,无法提供具体的时间表。移民局呼吁申请者暂时不要向该局查询自己的申请状态,而是等待收到回执或退件。
另外移民局还表示,部分H-1B申请者的I-129表格可能会在佛蒙特和加州的两个处理中心之间转换。这种情况下,移民局将向申请者发出通知。
此前移民局透露,本财年收到了超过20万份H-1B申请。
总统川普公布了他的全面移民改革计划,要求在接纳移民总数大致不变的情况下,将技术移民的比例从目前的10%提高到60%以上。不过,他还没有宣布任何具体的措施。

USCIS Completes Data Entry of Fiscal Year 2020 H-1B Cap Subject Petitions
USCIS has completed data entry for all fiscal year 2020 H-1B cap-subject petitions selected in our computer-generated random selection process, including those selected under the U.S. advanced degree exemption. As in previous years, we will now begin returning all H-1B cap-subject petitions that we did not select and will issue an announcement once we are done notifying petitioners. Due to the volume of filings, we cannot provide a definite time frame for returning unselected petitions. We ask petitioners to wait to inquire about the status of their cap-subject petitions until they receive a receipt notice or an unselected petition that we have returned.
Additionally, we may transfer some Form I-129 H-1B cap-subject petitions between the Vermont Service Center and the California Service Center to balance the workload and enhance efficiencies. If we transfer your case, you will receive notification in the mail. After receiving the notification, please send all future correspondence to the center processing your petition.
