HR 5630 Would Double Number of H-1B Visas.
HR 5630, also known as the “Innovation Employment Act,” would increase the cap in H-1B visas from 65,000 a year currently to 130,000 a year. There also would be included no limit on the number of H-1B visas for foreigners who came as graduate students in technical fields to U.S. colleges. If one year prior the 130,000 cap is reached, this legislation would also allow for an additional increase to the H-1B cap to 180,000 from 2010 to 2015.
