What is H1B ‘Cap Exempt’ Visa?
The "cap exempt" provision of the H1B visa program allows certain US companies and organizations to employ an unlimited number of H1B workers and apply for H1B's at any time of year.
Cap exempt H1B's are available for ALL types of H1B jobs and positions.
This is a great way to find sponsorship jobs and apply for H1B visas all year round. This way you can get your foot in the door and get your first H1B.Once you have an H1B you can then transfer it to a new employer (from cap exempt to cap subjected quota is little tricky). Cap-exempt is not quota limited or restricted the same way as the regular H1B quota. This way you can file for H1B's and start work in the USA at any time of year.
Who can sponsor H1-B ‘Cap Exempt’ visas?
The USCIS states that petitions (applications) for new H1B employment are exempt from the cap if the applicant will work at the defined institutions of higher education or a related or affiliated nonprofit entities, or at nonprofit research organizations or governmental research organizations. Thus, employers may continue to file petitions for these exempt H1B categories regardless of H1B visa number availability.
Petitions filed on behalf of current H1B workers do not count towards the congressionally mandated H1B cap. Accordingly, this rule does not affect USCIS processing of petitions filed to:
- Extend the amount of time a current H1B worker may remain in the United States
- Change the terms of employment for current H1B workers;
- Allow current H1B workers to change from one cap-subject position to a different cap-subject position with a different employer
- Allow current H1B workers to work concurrently in a second H1B position.
