Critical Issues in the U.S. H-1B Visa Program
Please note that this webinar will actually start at 10:15 a.m.
The H-1B Visa Program is a temporary (nonimmigrant) visa category that allows employers to petition for highly educated foreign professionals to work in “specialty occupations,” and current research shows that H-1B workers complement U.S. workers and expand job opportunities for all. In this panel, discussion will center on how foreign workers fill a critical need in the U.S. labor market, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and math fields – commonly referred to as STEM – and how with a low statutory limit of visa numbers available, demand for H-1B visa numbers has outstripped the supply in recent years.
