Lost the H-1B Lottery? Visa Options For Employers Wishing to Hire or Retain Professional Employees

Immigration and Global Mobility Webinar Series

Employers wishing to hire or retain foreign national employees in need of visa sponsorship have traditionally used the H-1B classification, which allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The speakers will discuss the implications of the annual cap of 85,000 new H-1B visas, with 20,000 reserved for foreign nationals holding advanced degrees from U.S. colleges and universities.

If your H-1B registration was not selected in this year’s lottery due to increased demand, hear about the options available to hire or retain professional employees, to include:

• Cap-exempt H-1B
• H-1B1
• E- 3
• E-1 and E-2
• TN
• L-1
• OPT, STEM OPT, and CPT for foreign student employees
• Sponsorship for permanent residency

1.0 hour CLE credit and 1.0 hour HRCI credit pending. This program is valid for 1.0 PDCs for the SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP®.
