The H-1B lottery is a highly competitive process, with more applicants than available visas. Unfortunately, not everyone applying for an H-1B visa is selected in the lottery, which can be a significant setback for employees and employers. This webinar is designed to help employers whose employees were not selected in the H-1B lottery understand their options and plan their next steps.

Topics we cover include:

• Exploring other employment-based immigration options.
• Understanding the impact on the employee and employer.
• Strategizing for the next H-1B filing season.
