Introduction:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the clock ticks towards April 1, 2015, employers are gearing up for the opening of the H-1B visa application window for 2016. The H-1B visa, a coveted gateway for skilled foreign workers to contribute their expertise to U.S. companies, follows a stringent application process. In this blog, we delve into the intricacies of the H-1B visa application and how AssignmentHippo.com serves as your trusted partner in this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the H-1B Visa Application Process: The H-1B visa process is an annual ritual with a cap of 85,000 petitions accepted, split into 65,000 for the general category and 20,000 for the U.S. advanced degree category. This cap, however, does not apply to extensions of H-1B status or certain specialized cases, such as educators and J waiver physicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Steps in the H-1B Visa Application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Employer Application:<\/strong> Employers initiate the process by applying for H-1B visas on behalf of skilled foreign workers not currently in H-1B status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. April 1 Opening:<\/strong> The application window opens on April 1, 2015, for a start date of October 1, 2015. Given the overwhelming demand, prompt submission is crucial.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Random Lottery:<\/strong> The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts a lottery if the number of applications surpasses the cap. Only the randomly selected petitions move forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Notification and Start Date:<\/strong> Employers of the selected petitions are notified, and successful candidates can commence work on October 1, 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
