H-B Lottery Season

As 2023 comes to an end, we would like to issue a reminder regarding the H-1B lottery, which will take place in March of 2024.  Employers seeking to file a cap-subject H-1B for an employee, including those eligible for the advanced degree exemption, must first electronically register. USCIS will announce the lottery registration dates in early 2024. The H-1B random lottery process will then be run on those electronic registrations. Only those with selected registrations will be eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions.

H-1B sponsorship is offered by U. S. employers for Foreign Nationals working for those employers in Specialty Occupations which require at least a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent in education and/or experience).  Approved H-1B employees can work for the sponsoring employer for 3 years in the first instance.

Please feel free to contact the attorneys of Iandoli, Desai & Cronin now with your questions about potential H-1B sponsorship.
