Why You Should Plan Now?

On April 1, 2017 USCIS will

begin accepting H-1B petitions

subject to the FY 2018 cap.

Once USCIS receives a sufficient number of

H1B petitions to reach the H-1B cap numbers,

it will NOT ACCEPT further H-1B petitions.

Top 5 reasons why

you must start planning

for your H-1B Cap 2018 filing

NOW!

Next H-1B Bus is 18 Months Away!

Employers who miss filing H1B petitions

in 2017 will NOT be able to bring in new

employees under the H-1B program until

October 1, 2018.

1

H-1B Lottery Again?

H-1B cap is expected to fill during the

1st week of April 2017.

We are most definitely looking at another

H-1B lottery this year!

2

Credential Evaluation Setbacks

Early determination is essential in case evaluation

cannot be obtained on the basis of foreign degree alone

or in the desired specialty occupation.

The sooner an employer knows about it, the more

time there is to incorporate alternative strategies.

3

Labor Condition Application Delays

An H-1B petition that lacks a certified

LCA will be rejected or ultimately denied.

Since LCA’s are filed using an electronic system,

delays caused by system breakdowns are unavoidable.

4

Any H-1B Work Visa Alternatives?

The only true alternatives to the H-1B

are the O-1, TN and the L-1.

All three have drawbacks and/or limitations.

5

Unexpected hiccups often arise

while preparing for the H-1B filing.

Eliminate the uncertaintyand ensure a successful filing.

2. The petitioner is a small business with less than 10 employees.

3. All the beneficiaries were located outside U.S. – no Master’s Quota.

4. All the beneficiaries were going to work only at client locations –

for different clients across the country.

“I am so grateful for VisaPro's help in getting an H1-B visa put into place for a

highly valuable new hire. I honestly don't know what I would have done if it

hadn't been for the help of [VisaPro] Case Manager. He was able to patiently

and clearly explain each stage of the process, was very responsive throughout,

and was really a pleasure to work with. If we ever go through this process

again, I know I will be calling VisaPro for help.”
