CASE: H-1B Visa Petition
PETITIONER: IT Consulting Company in Jacksonville, FL
BENEFICIARY: Indian Systems Analyst in India
Our client is an IT Consulting Company located in Jacksonville, FL. They contacted our office in the middle of February this year to seek legal assistance for a possible H-1B petition for their potential foreign employee.
The beneficiary obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in India. The Beneficiary is currently residing at India. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a Systems Analyst which we argued qualifies as a specialty occupation.
Upon retention, our office prepared and eventually filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on March 31, 2015 via regular processing. This H-1B petition was selected after the lottery.
Without any RFEs, our client’s H-1B petition was approved on August 17, 2015. Now, the beneficiary can apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. Embassy in India, and upon the issuance of the visa, he can work for the Petitioner from October 1, 2015 for three years.
