H-1B Visa Cap for 2027 Is Already Full — Despite Trump's Crackdown
HR Dive·Wednesday, 22 July 2026
The H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers, has already hit its cap for 2027. This happens even as the second Trump administration has stepped up efforts to discourage use of the program. Many top employers are still actively using it.
Why It Matters
The H-1B visa is the main route for Indian tech professionals to work in the U.S., so a filled cap means tens of thousands of Indian applicants are directly affected each year.
