About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will brief counsel on alternatives to the H-1B visa for employers seeking to hire or continue to employ foreign professionals not selected in the H-1B cap lottery in a given year.

Description

Every year, U.S. employers seeking highly skilled foreign professionals compete for the pool of H-1B visa numbers for which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services controls the allocation. With a low statutory limit of visa numbers available, demand for H-1B visa numbers has exceeded the supply in recent years, and this trend is projected to continue.

Employers should be aware of the various options and solutions to employ foreign professionals in the future. Counsel must understand each of these options, as well as the requirements, benefits, and limitations for each, to help clients effectively secure the services of foreign professionals that they need.

Listen as our panel of experts discusses H1-B visa alternatives, the benefits and risks of each alternative, strategies for working around the H-1B cap, and more.
