TL;DR

The Department of State has introduced the State Side H1B visa Pilot Program, allowing H1B visa holders to apply for visas and renewals within the United States. The program will accept applications from January 29 to April 1, 2024, with an initial limit of 20,000 applications. However, there is a catch - applicants must have had their H-1B visa previously renewed by Mission Canada or Mission India during specific timeframes. The pilot program aims to test the Department's ability to process visas in the country and reduce global visa wait times.
