New York, NY (PRWEB) September 8, 2008 -- New York Immigration Lawyer (http://valentinilawoffices.com) Valentini Law Offices, PLLC is pleased to announce an important message to those who may be considering filing for an H-1B employment visa. Since there is a congressionally mandated limitation on the number of visas available to foreign skilled workers, and because the number of applicants seeking classification under H-1B status has been dramatically increasing over the past several years, it is imperative that the application process be started as early as possible to ensure proper filing to meet deadlines.
Timing is so important because April 1 is the first day US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) begins accepting H-1B petitions. It is also the day on which an overwhelming number of applicants submit petitions, bringing the total number closer and closer to the capped limit. For this reason the earlier the application process is begun, the better the end result.
The H-1B visa (http://valentinilawoffices.com) remains a great visa option for foreign citizens who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher either in the United States or abroad. It allows the qualified foreign worker to be employed in the U.S. for up to 6 years.
Filing for an H-1B visa (http://valentinilawoffices.com) is a complex process best handled by an immigration law attorney. Valentini Law Offices, PLLC has extensive experience handling this type of case and has provided a comprehensive overview of the process to potential candidates and their employers which is available in both English and Spanish on its website at New York Immigration Lawyer (http://valentinilawoffices.com).
