About three of every four H-1B visas awarded went to India-born individuals. The second most expected nation of birth was China- with a comparatively less number of 55,038 (12.5 percent of the total). Canada- with 4,235 applicants (1 percent of the total), stood third in the ranking list. This digit of 4.41 lakh holds authorization for H-1B visas for initial employment and resumed employment (visa extensions).
As per the report, characteristics of H-1B Specialty Occupation Workers 2022, issued by USCIS, the statistic of H-1B applications that were approved grew by 8.6 percent in fiscal 2022.

In comparison, 50,328 Chinese constituting 12.4 percent of the total approvals, had received H-1B visas.
