H1B work visas are utilized to contract profoundly talented outside specialists at low wages in America which help firms and impact U.S economy unfavorably. In excess of 100,000 individuals for every year apply tight clamp for higher examinations and also to work and number builds each year. Selections of foreigners are done by lottery system which doesn’t follow any full proofed method and so results cause a loophole between US-based and foreign workers. We endeavor to examine petitions filled from 2015 to 2017 with the goal that a superior prediction model need to develop using machine learning which helps to foresee the aftereffect of the request of ahead of time which shows whether an appeal to is commendable or not. In this work, we use seven classification models Decision tree, C5.0, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, Neural Network and SVM which predict the status of a petition as certified, denied, withdrawal or certified with-drawls. The predictions of these models are checked on accuracy parameter. It is found that C5.0 outperform with the best accuracy of 94.62 as a single model but proposed model gives better results of 95.4 accuracies which is built by machine ensemble method and this is validated by 10 fold cross-validation.
