H-1B Work Permit Filings: Will You Beat the Cap?

This Alert is intended to enable employers to identify any current employees and employment candidates who may require H-1B work permit sponsorship before October 1, 2008. It is critical that employers identify any such candidates, as on April 1, 2007 USCIS will begin accepting H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2008 H-1B quota (which begins on October 1, 2007). We anticipate that the H-1B quota could be filled as early as the first week in April.
