H-1B Visa Information
OCTOBER 2025 NOTE: due to a lapse in funding and the government work stoppage, all foreign labor certification programs and federal website updates are currently suspended. This includes the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC), USCIS pages, Department of Labor pages, and the Foreign Labor Application Gateway. Links to these resources are included and described below, but some are disabled at this time. Federal pages that remain active include alerts for dates of last update and changes to programs from recent federal proclamations, including H1B visa quotas. Federal page updates will resume once the government work stoppage ceases; other programs and sites will reactivate when federal funding is restored.
