Keeping Up with Business Immigration under the New Administration: Getting Ready for the H-1B Season FY 2019 and Beyond

This webinar will address key developments in employment-based immigration since President Trump took office and discuss the changes in immigration law that may lie ahead. We will also discuss the upcoming FY 2019 H-1B season that will open on April 1, 2018. For many employers, the H-1B visa program is the primary method for bringing in professional level foreign employees. We will review the key steps in the petition preparation process and address the following topics:

  • Overview of the H-1B Visa Program
  • Understanding the H-1B Cap
  • Qualifying for an H-1B: Specialty Occupations & Education and Work Equivalency Evaluations
  • Prevailing Wage Issues
  • Post-filing Issues
  • Recent H-1B Adjudication Trends
