A new analysis finds denials for H-1B petitions have remained at high levels compared to previous years. However, the denial rate for new H-1B petitions dropped in the third quarter of FY 2020 due to the way U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decides on petitions selected for the annual H-1B lottery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe denial rate for new H-1B petitions for initial employment rose from 6% in FY 2015 to 21% through the third quarter of FY 2020,\u201d according to a\u00a0new analysis\u00a0from the National Foundation for American Policy. \u201cThis is in line with the 21% denial rate for H-1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2019 and the 24% denial rate in FY 2018.\u201d The report, based on USCIS data from the H-1B Employer Data Hub, focused on H-1B petitions for \u201cinitial\u201d employment, which are used primarily for new employment, typically a case that would count against the H-1B annual cap or limit (i.e., chosen in the annual lottery).<\/p>\n

USCIS processing choices, not changes in adjudication standards, resulted in a drop in the H-1B denial rate in the third quarter of FY 2020. \u201cIn the third quarter of FY 2020, the denial rate for H-1B petitions for initial employment was 7%, similar to the denial rate of 10% in the third quarter of FY 2019,\u201d according to the analysis. \u201cThat is much lower than the denial rate in other quarters because the third quarter of a fiscal year (April, May and June) includes the first set of adjudications of H-1B \u2018cap\u2019 cases \u2013 and in both FY 2019 and FY 2020, USCIS approved or denied those petitions that adjudicators decided on quickly (in April, May and June) and granted Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or held other applications for later in the fiscal year.\u201d<\/p>\n

USCIS data on Requests for Evidence\u00a0confirm this, showing that only 20% of the completed H-1B cases had a Request for Evidence in the third quarter of FY 2020, compared to 47% in the first quarter of FY 2020. The same pattern was seen in FY 2019 when 27% of completed cases had a Request for Evidence in the third quarter compared to 60% in the first quarter of FY 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Examining data on the 25 companies with the most H-1B petitions approved for initial employment in FY 2019, the analysis found:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe recent top 25 employers of new H-1B visa holders continued to have higher denial rates through the first three quarters of FY 2020 than in FY 2015 (i.e., before the Trump administration). Overall, 24 of the top 25 employers of new H-1B professionals had higher denial rates for H-1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2020 (through the third quarter) than in FY 2015.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201c13 of the 25 top companies had H-1B denial rates for initial employment at least 9 percentage points higher in FY 2020 (through the third quarter) than in FY 2015. That included large technology companies Cisco and Uber.<\/p>\n

– The highest denial rates continue to be for companies that provide information technology or other business services to American companies. The data indicate USCIS established a different standard for deciding cases for companies that provide information technology (IT) services. Immigration law does not have a different standard for adjudications based on the type of firm or the location where work will be performed.<\/p>\n

The denial rate for initial employment through the third quarter of FY 2020 when compared to FY 2015 increased by 14 percentage points or more for 10 major companies that provide information technology (IT) services or other business consulting services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cDenial rates for initial employment for H-1B petitions were generally between 1% and 5% in FY 2015 for the top employers of H-1B professionals, compared to denials rates that mostly ranged from 9% to as high as 56% through the first three quarters of FY 2020. In FY 2015, 16 of the 25 top companies had denial rates of 2% or lower for H-1B petitions for initial employment.\u201d<\/p>\n

When data become available for the fourth quarter (July, August and September) of FY 2020, and the first and second quarters of FY 2021, we should know what impact USCIS rescinding certain memos and issuing a\u00a0new policy memo\u00a0has on H-1B denial rates. The new memo was part of\u00a0a settlement\u00a0with the business group ITServe Alliance. Attorneys and companies blamed the higher denial rates, particularly for IT services companies, on the memos.<\/p>\n

In its final months, the Trump administration attempted to lock in its policies on H-1B visas through two regulations that companies believed would have forced many existing H-1B visa holders, as well as international students, to no longer qualify for H-1B status. On December 1, 2020,\u00a0a federal judge declared the administration violated the law\u00a0when it published the regulations to restrict H-1B visas. The\u00a0DOL rule<\/a>\u00a0took effect on October 8, 2020, and the\u00a0DHS rule\u00a0would have been effective December 7, 2020. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White\u2019s\u00a0order\u00a0vacated the regulations in a ruling that was binding nationwide.<\/p>\n

Companies are eager to learn whether the Biden administration\u2019s policies will result in lower denial rates for H-1B petitions. The numbers will tell the tale.<\/p>\n
