Suit against USCIS over shorter H-1B visas

ITServe Alliance, which is a non-profit trade association of over a thousand companies in the IT service sector, in its lawsuit petition filed on October 11, points out that US laws prescribe a three-year duration period for an H-1B visa, unless the sponsoring employer requests a lesser period of time. The visa can be extended for another three-year period—the cap is of six-years. Only in some cases, such as for those awaiting a green card (permanent residency), stay in the US is permitted beyond the six-year period.
