Lost the H-1B Lottery? Visa Options For Employers Wishing to Hire or Retain Professional Employees
Webinar, Hosted By Barnes & Thornburg LLP
Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - 2:00 PM - Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - 3:00 PM
Employers wishing to hire or retain foreign national employees in need of visa sponsorship have traditionally used the H-1B classification, which allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The speakers will discuss the implications of the annual cap of 85,000 new H-1B visas, with 20,000 reserved for foreign nationals holding advanced degrees from U.S. colleges and universities.
If your H-1B registration was not selected in this year’s lottery due to increased demand, hear about the options available to hire or retain professional employees, to include:
- Cap-exempt H-1B
- H-1B1
- E- 3
- E-1 and E-2
- TN
- L-1
- OPT, STEM OPT, and CPT for foreign student employees
- Sponsorship for permanent residency
