Now Is The Time To Prepare H-1B Cases!

H-1B visas will again become available on April 1, 2010 for an October 1, 2010 start date. However, over the past few years, the number of cases filed has consistently exceeded the available H-1B cap numbers and eligible cases are determined by a random lottery selection.

Immigration Law Associates, P.C. can help you minimize the possibility of getting caught in the cap. We have over eighteen years' experience handling a broad range of immigration cases, with a strong, well-established H-1B practice. In our experience with H-1B visas, preparedness makes all the difference. As a special incentive to early qualified applicants, our firm is currently offering a discount off of legal fees for H-1B preparation, call us at (847) 763-8500 to learn more.

There are many steps we can take before April 1 to ensure your petition is ready to file on April 1. These include:

• Working with the beneficiary of an H-1B petition to secure basic immigration documentation such as passport, I-94, professional credentials, etc.
• Determining what other documentation the beneficiary must have; for example an education or work experience evaluation, and preparing or securing these materials.
• Securing information and documentation from you, the employer, including financial information and a detailed job description.
• Drafting a memo in support of the petition, outlining how the position offered and the beneficiary of the H-1B petition meet the statutory requirements.
• Completing these steps can take a month or more. As the cap cut-off is likely to occur shortly after H-1Bs become available, we advise our clients not to incur a significant delay in filing by waiting until April 1 to begin the process.
