International Legal and Business Services Group, ILBSG, recently added a new resource to support new and existing H-1B visa programs. The H-1B resources content is developed by our team of immigration law experts with a particular focus on the H-1B visa.

The H-1B Visa Program and Resources page includes guides, FAQs, and a case study from ILBSG. Guides are developed specifically for the upcoming filing year. Two guides are available. One is for the company starting their H-1B visa program. Details include outlining the Labor Condition Applications (LCA), the first step to enter the H-1B lottery. The key to success is starting on the right foot, which means paying particular attention to the LCA. From there, each subsequent step is outlined, including the appropriate filing fees for the H-1B visa lottery that opens on March 1, 2022. To maximize success, we strongly suggest starting on the right foot. The second guide focuses on the impact Covid has had on remote work and the subsequent opportunities created for H-1B workers and their related work environment compliance.

As Covid introduced new opportunities for remote work for H-1B workers, assigning an H-1B visa holder to multiple projects with the same employer is made somewhat easier. With geographical flexibility, it’s simply easier for one worker, particularly in technology roles, to support more than one project as being in-person may no longer be a requirement. Similarly, an H-1B employee can work for more than one employer. However, critical in this scenario is compliance with contracts. Ensure your company contract with an H-1B employee outlines your specific requirements.

With ongoing limited access to available, willing, and qualified talent in the U.S., the importance of foreign workers is critical to many companies. As H-1B visas are limited, understanding the nuances of the H-1B visa is critical. Be sure to visit our H-1B resources page to learn more. It’s always a good idea to work with an experienced H-1B attorney to increase your odds of success. If you have questions about the H-1B visa program or any other immigration-related issue, contact us at ILBSG. We put our extensive experience and expertise to work for you to ensure you get the right advice.
