Which foreign nationals are affected by the H-1B visa cap?
Foreign nationals in other non-immigrant statuses such as B, F, J or H-4 who request a change of status to a first time H-1B are affected by the H-1B quota. Additionally, managers, recruiters, and human resource departments planning to bring a foreign national from overseas to work in the United States on an initial H-1B visa should also be concerned about the H-1B cap.
