We recently received an approval for an H-1B case. The employer is an Irvine-based firm that hired an Applications Engineer who was already in H-1B status for a company based in the Midwest. The employee's previous position was similar to his intended position in Irvine and we documented his work experience and education carefully to show that he well-suited for the job as a specialty occupation H-1B.
Because the employer was eager to have the employee start as soon as possible and because the employee was leery about starting work for his new employer before his H-1B was approved, we filed the case using premium processing. The case was approved within 11 days and the employee started work within a few days of the approval. Everything went smoothly with no requests for evidence issued.
The employee is permitted to work on H-1B status for the next three years and during that time the employer can determine whether to pursue PERM processing so the Applications Engineer may obtain permanent residency.
If you are considering hiring an alien worker but are not sure about the process, contact Nelson & Nuñez, P.C. to schedule a consultation. Nelson & Nuñez, P.C. will help you better understand the process and which employment visa options - L-1 visa, H-1B visa, etc. - are viable for your situation.
