For businesses, there is nothing more important than having
a strong, dedicated workforce. For many
employers with professional positions to offer, this means racing to the
Citizenship & Immigration Service to file for a potential employee’s H-1B
visa in hopes their case is chosen in a lottery. For the last two years, CIS has reached the
65,000 cap on professional workers in the first week. Forcing a lottery and leaving many employers
without the ability to hire the employees they want.
The 2016 fiscal year begins October 1, 2015. Employers are eligible to file H-1B petitions
no more than 6 months before the visa is available. Thus, April 1, 2015 is the earliest date on
which USCIS can accept petitions for H-1B visas. This year we all expect to reach the 65,000
cap again on the first possible day.
Quite a bit goes into filing an H-1B petition, including securing the
proper Labor Condition certification, ensuring the position is a professional
one, and that the individual you are seeking to employ has the requisite
bachelor’s degree to fit that position.
If you are interested in filing a new H-1B petition this year, please
contact Joseph Law Firm and we can assist you through the process. Time is of the essence!
