CASE: H-1B Visa Petition
PETITIONER: IT Consulting Company in New Jersey
BENEFICIARY: Indian Systems Analyst in India
Our client is an IT Consulting Company company located in New Jersey. They contacted our office in the middle of February this year to seek legal assistance for a possible H-1B petition for their foreign employee.
The beneficiary obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in India. 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, 2014 via regular processing. This H-1B petition was selected after the lottery.
Without any RFEs, our client’s H-1B petition was approved on July 22, 2014. Now, the beneficiary can apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. Embassy in India, and upon the issuance of visa, he can work for the Petitioner from October 1, 2014 for three years.
