Hiring Foreign Professionals | Attorneys in Miami
Hire the specialized talent your company needs, with the legal representation that minimizes risk.
The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in occupations requiring at least a bachelor’s degree in a specialized field. With 85,000 visas available per year and demand that far exceeds that number, a well-prepared petition can make the difference between approval and denial.
At Major Case Law Group, we accompany both employers and candidates at every stage of the H-1B process: from lottery registration to approval, extensions, and transition to a Green Card.
Who needs the H-1B Visa?
- Companies in the U.S. wishing to hire qualified foreign professionals
- Foreign professionals with a job offer in a specialty occupation
- Companies seeking to transfer employees from international offices
Key aspects of the H-1B process
- Requires sponsorship from a U.S. employer
- Requires an approved Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the Department of Labor
- The petition is filed using Form I-129 with USCIS
- Lottery registration opens each year in March. Deadlines are fixed and immovable.
How we support you in the H-1B process
- Eligibility analysis. We verify that the position and the candidate’s credentials qualify as a specialty occupation.
- LCA and I-129 petition preparation. We draft the complete legal support with all required evidence.
