Beginning April 1, 2010, employers can submit an H-1B visa petition for an individual that they want to employ beginning October 1, 2010. Each year, the U.S. government imposes an arbitrary cap on 65,000 H-1B visas. In recent memory, with the exception of last year, the cap has been reached within days of the April 1st start date. Last year, the cap was reached in December.
If you are interested in sponsoring a worker for an H-1B, please contact Gafner Law Firm to learn more about your options.
