Question of the Month

Q: What are the major requirements for an H-1B employer?

Two major requirements need to be met:

The H-1B employer must have the ability to pay. For instance, John wants to hire a computer programmer for his start-up company. He promises to pay an alien worker $50,000 a year. However, he currently has only $800 in his company’s bank account. Under this circumstance, John fails the “ability to pay” test.
The job offer to an intended H-1B beneficiary should be a bona fide offer. In other words, there must be real business needs for the position to be filled by the alien worker.

Caveat: It is impossible to list all of the relevant information a prospective H-1 employer/petitioner needs to know. To see what specific requirements apply to your case, it is best to obtain legal advice from an experienced attorney.
