New H-1B Filings -- April 1st Deadline

2.4.2013

April 1 through 5, 2013 is the filing deadline for new H-1B petitions to be made under the USCIS H-1B quota (assuming, as in the past, that H-1B quota availability will be immediately exhausted).

Employers should therefore determine as soon as possible whether they have any new H-1B petitions to be filed under the FY2014 quota (for start dates on or after October 1, 2013). The quota provides for 65,000 H-1B visas and 20,000 additional H-1B visas for individuals who have a masters or higher degree from a U.S. university.

In your review, please consider the following:

  • Determine whether you employ any foreign nationals for whom we may not have a record in our office (e.g., F-1 and J-1 students, TN NAFTA professionals, L-1B specialized knowledge transferees)
  • Determine if there are any individuals you wish to consider for employment beginning October 1, 2013, who require a new H-1B petition.
Please contact us if you wish to file a new H-1B petition. We would like to collect all necessary information in February to allow sufficient preparation time.
