Fiscal Year 2007 H-1Bs are Fast Approaching!! By: Beth Robertie, Esq. 2007财政年度的H-1B名额会在2006年10月1日正式开始使用,而申请人最早可在4月1日开始提交其H-1B申请。在这里,我们建议有意申请2007年H-1B名额的人士应开始准备有关文件以尽早提出其案件。 As many of you probably know, the 65,000 H-1B cap was reached by August of 2005 for the 2006 numbers. Similarly, the 20,000 Advanced Degree H-1B cap was reached in January of 2006. We expect there to be a similar rush to submit H-1B petitions this year. If you have not been counted under the H-1B cap in the last six years and you hope to acquire an H-1B to work in an industry job starting on or after October 1, 2006 , you should begin collecting your documents and contact an attorney today. Beginning on April 1, 2006 , the USCIS will begin accepting H-1B petitions for the 2007 fiscal year. Although it is likely that the H-1B visa numbers will continue to be available for at least a few months after April, alien beneficiaries who are interested in the H-1B visa should make plans to apply now. ______________________________________________________________________________ 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1,L-1,EB-1,EB-2,NIW,劳工卡,绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理,我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集,欢迎读者流览查询。 www.Fan-Law.com CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
