What is an H-1B Visa?

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows a qualified alien worker with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree to temporarily (up to 6 years) be employed in the US by a sponsoring employer. A qualified alien worker can bring his dependants (spouse and children) to the US. Examples of workers we’ve successfully represented in  H-1B applications include computer programmers, scientists, researchers, engineers, architects, lawyers, physical therapists, economists, financial analysts and fashion designers.

To qualify for an H-1B visa, an alien worker can be employed either part-time or full-time. It is not a violation of alien worker’s non-immigrant status to be on vacation, on sick, maternity or paternity leave. An alien worker on an H-1B visa may travel outside the US, for business and pleasure, and safely re-enter the country.

LCA as an Integral Part of an H-1B Application

The process of applying for H-1B status is very complex and best handled by an immigration lawyer.  An H-1B application starts with a labor condition application (LCA), which must be certified by the Department of Labor. LCAs are currently being accepted electronically and may be submitted by an attorney on behalf of the petitioning employer. LCAs are no longer being certified instantly and it takes about 7 days to get a certified LCA from DOL.

One of the main requirements of the LCA is a declaration made by the employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for the offered position as it is determined by an appropriate wage source for the specific geographic location of employment. To achieve this, the offered position must be correctly categorized and identified by an attorney preparing an H-1B application; this is done through careful analysis of the job description and job requirements. There is a three-digit occupational code which corresponds to a particular field, as well as a six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code which defines an occupation within a given industry.

In addition to the certified LCA, an integral component of an H-1B application is the letter of support endorsed by the petitioning employer. This letter seeks to establish that the alien will indeed be employed in a specialty occupation and that the alien is qualified for the position offered. An experienced attorney drafts this important piece of evidence in a way that conveys a correct and convincing message to USCIS adjudicating officers.

H-1B Cap

Congressionally-mandated cap on the number of H-1Bs that can be approved per fiscal year is currently set at 65,000. There is an exemption from this cap available for aliens who have earned a Master’s or higher degree from a university in the United States, however this exemption is limited to 20,000. Also, some petitioning employers are exempt from all numerical limitations. Examples of these employers are: certain institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities related to or affiliated with institutions of higher education, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations.

H-1B Quotas and Deadline

There are strict filing deadlines for H-1B petitions which all cap-subject applications must adhere to in order to be considered. The fiscal year begins on October 1 and the employment start date can be no earlier than this, so if a petitioner requests an October 1 start date, the application must be submitted on or after April 1. Due to the increasingly high volume of H-1B filings, each year the cap is filled closer and closer to the first day on which cap-subject applications are accepted.  While there were years when H-1B quotas would open and close on virtually the same day to a high demand, in 2011 (FY2012) and 2010 (FY2011) H-1B quotas were open until November.  However, we at Valentini Law Offices predict that for FY2013 H-1B quotas would be reached well before November 2012.

On November 23, 2011 USCIS announced that both H-1B quotas have been reached.  FY 2012 H-1B quota has been filling up at a moderate pace, for example as of April 7, 2011, approximately 5,900 “regular” H-1B cap-subject petitions were receipted and 4,500 petitions for aliens with advanced degrees; as of October 7, 2011, approximately 41,000 “regular” H-1B cap-subject petitions were receipted and 19,100 H-1B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees.

FY2013 H-1B Application Process Starts on April 2, 2012

USCIS will start accepting H-1B applications for FY2013 on Monday, April 2, 2012.   Generally, if an H-1B application is approved, a foreign national employee is authorized to start working in the US at the start of the fiscal year, on October 1, 2012.  Optional Practical Training (OPT) status holders might be eligible for a “Gap Cap” that would allow them to continue their work in the US beyond the expiration of their OPT and before October 1, 2012.

Since the H-1B quota for FY2013 might not remain open for long, eligible foreign workers and their US employees are advised to immediately contact Valentini Law Offices to start H-1B application process.

Como las oficinas Valentini le pueden beneficiar: Les damos la bienvenida a patrones y a empleados a contactarnos para discutir opciones de inmigración que le convengan mejor a sus necesidades de negocio. Para patrones, nosotros realizamos la manera mas rápida en traer empleados extranjeros a los Estados Unidos. Para empleados, nosotros creamos una estrategia que le permitirá avanzar su carrera en los Estados Unidos mientras manteniendo la puerta abierta para el ajuste de residencia permanente.

H-1B

La visa de H-1B es una visa del no-inmigrante que permite a un trabajador extranjero calificado con un mínimo de licenciatura a trabajar temporalmente (hasta 6 años) en los Estados Unidos por un patrón patrocinador. Un trabajador extranjero calificado podrá traer a sus dependientes (esposo(a) e hijos) a los Estados Unidos. Ejemplos de trabajadores extranjeros calificados incluyen informáticos, científicos, ingenieros, arquitectos, abogados, matemáticos, economistas, contables, analistas financieros y modelos de merito distinguido o habilidad.

Para calificar para una visa de H-1B, un trabajador extranjero puede ser empleado por medio-tiempo o de jornada completa. No es una violación del estatus no-inmigrante del trabajador extranjero a estar en vacaciones, en licencia por enfermedad, en maternidad o en paternidad. Un trabajador extranjero en una visa de H-1B y sus dependientes pueden viajar fuera de los Estados Unidos y volver.

Si el empleo del extranjero con una firma patrocinadora termina, él or ella debe salir de los Estados Unidos, conseguir a un nuevo patrón que lo patrocine para un H-1B visa, o ajusta su estatus. Es una línea de conducta muy común que un sostenedor de la visa de H-1B solicite la residencia permanente legal (tarjeta de residencia) a través de su actual o futuro patrón (PERM). También es común para que los sostenedores de la visa de H1-B hagan un ajuste de estatus basado en la unión a un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos.

El proceso de solicitar estado de H-1B es muy complejo y es mejor manejado por un experto de la ley de la inmigración. Para que el patrón que patrocina pueda presentar una petición a USCIS, el patrón debe presentar una solicitud de la condición de labor (LCA), que se debe certificar por el Departamento de Labor. LCAs se está aceptando actualmente electrónicamente y se puede someter por un abogado a nombre del patrón que solicita. El sistema electrónico ha substituido completamente el sistema anterior del fax, y solamente los patrones o los agentes que tienen permiso de escritura de la Oficina de Certificación de Labor Extranjero (OFLC) pueden archivar por correo.

Uno de los requisitos principales del LCA es una declaración hecha por el patrón para pagar por lo menos el salario prevalente para la posición ofrecida que es determinado por una fuente apropiada para la localización geográfica específica del empleo. Para determinar esto, la posición ofrecida se debe categorizar e identificar correctamente con un análisis de los requisitos y las descripciones del trabajo. Hay un código ocupacional tridigital que corresponde a un campo particular, también hay un código seis-dígitos de la sistema clasificatorio de industrias norteamericanas norteamericanos (NAICS) que defina una ocupación dentro de una industria dada.

Además del certificado LCA, un componente integral de la solicitud de H-1B es la carta de ayuda endosada por el patrón que solicita. Esta carta intenta establecer que emplearán al extranjero de hecho en una ocupación de la especialidad y que el extranjero es calificado para la posición ofrecida. En nuestra oficina un abogado experimentado prepara esta prueba importante, y hemos sido exitosos en el pasado en transportar el mensaje correcto a los oficiales de juicio.

Hay un limite mandatario en el número de nuevo H-1Bs que pueda ser aprobado por cada año fiscal y el cual actualmente es 65.000. Hay una excepción de este limite disponible para los extranjeros que han ganado un grado de maestría o un certificado de una universidad estadounidense, sin embargo esta exención se limita a 20.000. También, algunos patrones que solicitan están exentos de todas las limitaciones numéricas. Algunos ejemplos de estos patrones son: ciertas instituciones de una educación más alta, las entidades sin fines lucrativos afiliados con instituciones de educación más alta, organizaciones de investigación sin fines lucrativos, y organizaciones de investigación gubernamentales.

Hay plazos estrictos para las peticiones de H-1B a las cuales todas las solicitudes susceptibles de limite deberían adherir para ser consideradas. El año fiscal comienza el 1 de octubre y la fecha de inicio del empleo puede estar no anterior que esto, entonces si un solicitante pide una fecha de inicio del 1 de octubre, la solicitud se debe presentar en el 1 de abril o después. Si una solicitud de H-1B (limitado) para el año fiscal 2009 es recibido por USCIS antes del 1 de abril de 2008 será negado, y los honorarios de tramite no serán retournadas. Esto es porque las solicitudes deberían ser archivadas 6 meses antes de la fecha de inicio pedida. Sin embargo, debido al cada vez más grandes cantidades de las H-1B que son archivadas, el limite se alcanza cada año cada vez más cerca del primer día en el cual se aceptan las solicitudes susceptibles al limite.

Por razones logísticas, y en anticipación del gran número de usos que serían presentados para el año fiscal 2009, USCIS anunció que aceptaría las solicitudes que cuentan hacia el limite recibido durante los primeros cinco días laborales que las peticiones debían para ser aceptadas (1 de abril-7 de abril de 2008). El 8 de abril de 2008 USCIS publicó en la prensa indicando que él había recibido más que bastantes peticiones de H-1B para alcanzar el limite (el limite incluyendo los 20.000 certificados de maestría de los E.E.U.U.). Esto ilustra la importancia de las asesorías jurídicas de planificación y de retención cuidadosas de las oficinas Valentini, abogado de la inmigración de Nueva York para preparar su solicitud de visa de H-1B bien delante de tiempo.

Para manejar bastantes solicitudes archivados dentro del período del proceso asignado, USCIS anunció que utilizaría un proceso de selección al azar generado en computadora para seleccionar suficientes peticiones para alcanzar el limite. Todas las peticiones que no son seleccionadas para procesar serán rechazadas y todos los honorarios de tramite no seran retournados.

En el 19 de marzo de 2008 USCIS publicó una regla provisional en el registro federal que prohibía peticiones múltiples de un patrón a nombre del mismo extranjero para la misma posición. Tales peticiones duplicadas intentan quitar autoridad a una sistema justo donde cada extranjero tiene una posibilidad igual en ser seleccionado al azar en dando a algunos solicitantes una ventaja injusta. USCIS negará o revocará tales peticiones del duplicado y no consolidará los honorarios de archivar. También, si un solicitante demanda incorrectamente estar exento del limite, los honorarios de archivar no serán vueltos y la solicitud será negada si no hay números para alcanzar el limite disponibles.

Un nuevo medido corto de USCIS anunciado el 18 de abril de 2008 agrega al cuadro permitiendo que los beneficiarios de las peticiones seleccionadas de H-1B con una fecha de inicio del 1 de octubre actualmente en el estado F-1 soliciten una extensión de estatus para cubrir el espacio entre su vencimiento F-1 y la fecha de inicio de su empleo aprobado de H-1B. Así, los beneficiarios extranjeros podrán mantener su estado legal sin tener que salir del país.

Es importante conservar a un abogado tal como asesorías jurídicas de las oficinas Valentini PLLC, abogado de la inmigración de Nueva York con una maestría en aplicar por visas de H-1B para asegurarse de que su solicitud no será negada debido a un error evitable. También, un abogado de H-1B podría determinar honorarios de tramite correctos e si un patrón particular es el susceptible al limite, que alternadamente afectará directamente al resultado del caso.
