Increase the number of H-1B Cap

Created by H.R. on April 14, 2014

Currently, USCIS, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, only issue 85,000 H-1B visas each year, which include 65,000 as regular cap and 20,000 as Master's exemption (people with degree higher than Master will fall in this category). However, the amount of cap no longer meets the need of employers: "USCIS received about 172,500 H-1B petitions during the filing period which began April 1, including petitions filed for the advanced degree exemption.", as quoted from website of USCIS. As the H-1B visa holders normally work in areas which is lack of labor of American citizens, this will hold back the slowly growing economy of United States.

Please provide more visas for these workers and their employers!
