The United States Citizenship & Immigration Services will begin accepting H-1B petitions subject to the fiscal year 2018 cap on Monday, April 3, 2017 – there is still time to file an H-1B for the upcoming fiscal year!
J-1 VISAS CAN BE USED AS A BACK-UP: Many U.S. employers frequently use the J-1 visa as a back-up solution to the H-1B since Management Trainees are eligible for up to 18 months. Also, if a candidate is approved for the H-1B they can defer obtaining the visa and first utilize the J-1 visa.
