H-1B Visas Analysis-Approved

Project Overview

Summary

The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States

This project will focus on H1-B visas Approved by the US government within five years period (between the year 2015 to 2019). The goal here is to look at the trend of approved H1-B visa, the job in which the visa was issued and the locations where a lot of jobs came from. The dashboard will detail how many H1-B visas were given per Countries coved, and the job titles that dominated the approval. The project will give us a clear picture on how many people immigrate to the United State to work

Problem Statement

Problem Statement:

The H1-B Visa applicants are faced with many challenges which includes denial, the government limitation and political influence. The Trump administration has fired both barrels against U.S. companies and their ability to hire high-skilled foreign nationals, including international students, on H-1B visas. Before then, H1-B visa recipient saw themselves hindered by the annual statutory cap. Since the category was created in 1990, Congress has limited the number of H-1Bs made available each year. The current annual statutory cap is 65,000 visas, with 20,000 additional visas for foreign professionals who graduate with a master's degree or doctorate from a U.S. institution of higher learning.
