Do you have foreign national employees or prospective hires who are in F-1 student status with available curricular or optional practical training (CPT or OPT), or in another short-term status (such as TN) and in need of an option for longer-term work authorization? For most, that longer-term option is H-1B status; however, in many cases, applying for H-1B status first requires selection in an annual lottery. This session will discuss what is involved in the registration process for the annual H-1B cap lottery, including which current/prospective employees should be registered, timelines and general process, and important information for Human Resources and Talent Acquisition teams to keep in mind to retain and recruit top talent. It will also touch on employer obligations if your candidate/employee is selected.
