The dreaded H-1B filing deadline of April 1, 2017 for the Fiscal Year 2018 is fast approaching, making employers and employees face tough questions.

H-1B process, even though not complex intrinsically, is nevertheless complicated due to numerical cap, prevailing wage, employer responsibility, and financial issues.

1. H-1B classification-- how to qualify as an employer and employee and the general employer and employee requirements
2. Prevailing and actual wage issues
3. Financial responsibilities of the employer, for Department of Labor and USCIS purposes
4. Changing status from a J1 12 month graduate visa to H-1B
5. Intent issues and changing status issues
6. Employer compliance issues, petition fees and an outline of common pitfalls
