The H-1B visa remains one of the most important pathways for skilled foreign workers to enter the United States. Designed for professionals with at least a bachelor’s degree, the visa is issued for three years and can be renewed. For many, it also serves as a crucial stepping stone toward permanent residency (Green Card).
In 2023, Indians emerged as the second largest immigrant group in the U.S. after Mexicans, with 278,148 professionals accounting for more than 72% of all H-1B visas issued. Nearly two-thirds of these workers are employed in computer-related fields, holding many of the key roles that drive America’s technology sector. On average, they earned annual salaries of USD 118,000, underscoring their value in the high-skilled workforce.
Alongside professionals, Indian students also made a strong mark. In 2023, the U.S. hosted 331,602 Indian students, a number that surpassed Chinese enrolments and highlighted India’s rising influence in international education.
These migration patterns reflect not only India’s growing pool of skilled talent but also the global opportunities available for professionals and businesses alike. As Indian professionals expand their presence in overseas markets, the need for robust compliance, tax planning, and corporate structuring services becomes increasingly critical — both for individuals and for companies employing them.
