For businesses employing highly-skilled workers – healthcare, high-tech, mining and other companies that look to the global labor market for the right talent – the April 1st H-1B filing date is coming quickly. The time slot between the H-1B applications open filing date, April 1st, and the date when the statutory cap is reached has been less than one week for the past two years. Applications for the 65,000 highly-skilled worker H-1B and the 20,000 U.S. Masters degreed H-1B visas is projected to exceed 180,000 applications this year.
With such a small window for applications, employers cannot afford to make omissions or mistakes on any application.
Please join us for a discussion on the implications for your business.
