Feb 15, 2021: Our H-1B wasn't selected! Now what do we do?

Immigration Update with Lin Walker by Lin Walker

Episode notes

As we mentioned last week, the overall odds of being selected for an H-1B visa was approximately 30% in last year’s cap, as USCIS received approximately 275,000 registrations for 85,000 H-1B visa numbers.

So what are U.S. employers to do if they wish to hire a foreign national, but are not selected in this year’s H-1B cap?

The podcast this week is dedicated to describing some of these alternative employment-based nonimmigrant visa classifications that U.S. employers may utilize to recruit and hire foreign nationals for professional positions in the U.S.
