The U.S. State Department plans to resume allowing H-1B visa holders to renew their visas without leaving the country. Under a pilot program to launch later this year. For the last two decades, temporary visa holders have been required to travel to a U.S. consulate abroad to renew their visas. The global pandemic has made ongoing delays and backlogs far worse, and U.S. businesses have increased their requests for the government to allow domestic renewals for temporary business visas. Domestic renewals were discontinued after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Bloomberg Government first reported the news of the pilot program. But they did not report details or a start date for the pilot program.
