How long does it take to process the H-1B visa?
The average time for processing by the government is 90-150 days, unless you are willing to pay the (USCIS) premium processing fee of $1,000. The average timeline for HJF internal processing of an H-1B visa, after all documentation requested from the candidate and department is received, is two weeks. This includes preparation of the application forms, receiving approval/signatures from senior management, receiving fees/checks, and procuring supporting documents from the Department of Labor. The hiring supervisor receives notification if and when there are unexpected delays, and when the application is forwarded to USCIS.
