Allowing applicants to get a visa approval in a record 15 days period, the H-1B visa trumps the general visa applicants by months! There is a 65,000 cap on the number of H-1B visas granted in a year. Additionally, for those who have advanced college degrees from US universities, there is a 20,000 cap. The premium processing begun now is only meant for pending applications.
