This page displays data related to the number of new H-1B and J-1 visas issued annually by the University of Kentucky. H-1B visas are typically filed in three-year increments on a single petition, while J-1 visas are typically assigned a one-year period of validity with opportunities for renewal. An internal personnel ID number is used to tally the total number of visas. Personnel may be counted twice if their internal ID numbers change, which is usually due to a change in employment status. This data excludes international visitors whose visas are not sponsored by the University of Kentucky (e.g., visiting Fulbright scholars) as well as faculty physicians or hospitalists in the College of Medicine and UK Healthcare.
