How long does it take to complete a H-1B application?
US Government Processing time approximately 1-3 months, subject to available allocations. There is a great demand for H-1B visas and the allocation is used almost as soon as it becomes available. Applications can be made as early as April 1 for the allocation of the following fiscal year. The allocations become available when the fiscal year begins, October 1 st of each year. Thus, shortly after October 1 the full allocation is used. Therefore, it is extremely important that applications are filed with USCIS during the late spring and summer.
