The H-1B session will include a Powerpoint presentation with an overview of the purpose and nature of the H-1B visa, as well as alternative work visas (J-1. F-1 OPT, TN, O-1). We will then go into more specifics on H-1B parameters and requirements, including wage regulations, educational credentials, timelines and fees. We will point out employment terms that H-1B employers must abide by. Finally, we will lead participants through the ISSS H-1B website and how to navigate the new online INSZoom application software.
