Showing H-1B (Specialty Occupation) · FY2009–FY2026.
FY2009–2023 comes from USCIS's archived per-year export files; FY2024–FY2026 was pulled directly from USCIS's live Crosstab View tool, with FY2026 reflecting data as of 6/30/2026 (a partial fiscal year, not a full-year total).
"Approval"/"Denial" counts are workers covered by first decisions on petitions (initial + continuing employment), not unique petitions.
Note: FY2026 volume is well below FY2025 in this dataset — likely because FY2026 is a partial year (data as of 6/30/2026), not a real year-over-year drop.
