H-1B Season for FY-2015 is Approaching

It is mid-January and it is not too early for employers to begin thinking about the preliminary preparation for new H-1Bs for next year.  Applications should be ready to be filed so that they arrive at the Vermont Service Center on April 1, 2014 for employment to begin on October 1, 2014.  As the date approaches, USCIS will likely provide guidance on filing and whether there will be a range of dates like last year.  It appears likely, based on the economy and visa availability during the last two years, that the visa cap will be reached during the initial filing period.  More news to come.
