Order Form

Employers who are considering hiring individuals who are living overseas, want to know what type of visa is the best? Or the easiest? However, there is no simple answer. Rather, you need to know who the employer wants to hire, particulars about the employer, and necessary qualifications. Are you wanting to sponsor employees for a non-immigrant visa, such as H-1B?

Learning Objectives:-

To learn which visas are available and what are the requirements for each of the visas.

Areas Covered:-

Types of Non-Immigrant Visas

  • H-1B – “specialty occupation” – usually professional
  • L – intracompany transferees who work in managerial positions or have specialized knowledge at an international subsidiary or affiliated companies
  • TN visa – similar to H-1B – only for Canadians and Mexicans
  • OPT/OPT STEM – for post-graduate foreign nationals for 1 year and a possible 2 additional years
  • E-3 – similar to H-1B visa – only for Australians
  • O - an individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics
  • H-2A or H-2B – for seasonal/temporary employment

Background:-

Visas are a great way to hire for your workforce. But your company and the position need to meet certain criteria under immigration law.

Why Should You Attend:-

Seemingly all employers are having staffing issues. It may be time to think outside the box. Thus, employers should consider immigrant and/or non-immigrant visas. This webinar will cover non-immigrant visas – meaning temporary visas from 1 to 3 years.

  • HR managers
  • COOs

  • Payroll staff
  • in-house counsel
  • Owners of small companies
  • SHRM
