Nonimmigrant Visa Options Beyond the H-1B

Last year, only 33% of fiscal year H-1B filings were accepted by the USCIS. We don’t know what the odds will be yet for this year, but an H-1B Lottery looks likely.

Luckily, employers have other choices when it comes to hiring non-immigrant workers in the U.S. Depending on what country a candidate is from, perhaps an E-3 or TN visa will work. If you are transferring an employee from a foreign affiliate, the L-1 visa may be available.

In this webinar, we will provide an overview of several employment-based nonimmigrant visa categories. We will discuss: basic requirements of each nonimmigrant visa; timing; spouse work authorization; and government adjudication trends.

This webinar is geared toward in-house lawyers and professionals in human resources, recruiting and staffing, who are responsible for the immigration function within their organizations.
