About & Professional Positions 👇🏼

An H-1B visa is meant for jobs that require advanced knowledge and skills, typically obtained through a professional degree. The offered position’s duties should involve applying that specialized knowledge.

For example, an accounting job that mainly involves basic bookkeeping wouldn’t qualify for an H-1B visa. On the other hand, an accounting position that involves analyzing financial data and using complex accounting principles would likely qualify.

If you are thinking about an E or L start-up company, you will need the appropriate corporate entity. So, where do you register your if you have an E-Commerce company?

It will depend on the facts of your case, but for example:

If you work primarily from one stateand do in multiple states, registering your LLC in your HQ state is perfectly acceptable.

If you travel constantly and lack a permanent , you can register your LLC in any state that suits your needs, as long as you appoint a Registered Agent with a physical address in that state. This ensures legal documents and official notices reach your business.

The H-1B program is the only visa which allows U.S. companies (with no foreign branches) to bring in foreign workers with advanced degrees and specialized skills for temporary positions.

Here’s what you need to know to get ready for FY 2025:

1. Visa Availability: Each year, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues two categories of H-1B cap visas: regular and master’s. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, a combined total of 85,000 visas will be available (65,000 regular and 20,000 US master’s).

2. Registration Process: Employers are required to submit an electronic registration for each potential employee through the USCIS system - This registration period is expected to run in March 2024.

3. Selection: USCIS selects registrations, notifying employers to proceed.

4. Petition Filing: Selected employers file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with DOL, and prepare all H-1B forms and supporting documents within 90 days of being notified.

5. Submission: Employers mail the completed petition to USCIS for processing and wait for the potential start date of FY 2025 on October 1, 2024.

So, mark your calendars for the registration window and be prepared to act quickly if selected. Also, if at this point you are not being guided by a qualified attorney, it is time to find one. 😉

The “Einstein Visa,” named after the legendary physicist, isn’t just for scientific geniuses; artists, educators, business titans, and even athletic superstars can also qualify for this green card, provided they possess “extraordinary ability” in their chosen field.

This doesn’t mean simply being good; the bar is set high, demanding sustained national or international acclaim recognized by their peers and the wider world!

The “Einstein Visa”, officially known as the EB-1, offers a unique advantage: no job offer or labor certification is required. The focus is purely on your exceptional and potential to the United States. So, if you’re a visionary pushing the boundaries in your field, this might just be your calling.

: “My green card application was denied. What should I do next?” 🤔

If your adjustment of status petition was denied, there is no procedure for appealing this decision. However, in certain situations, you might be able to request that USCIS review its decision, or simply reapply.

In case you are able to appeal the USCIS decision, we recommend that you follow the steps below:

1️⃣ Get a full copy of the casefile and your decision.
2️⃣ Check to see that this was not a minor procedural issue, eg: denial for failure to submit evidence when you submitted that evidence.
3️⃣ Consult an experienced professional to help you navigate.

Where to register your if you have an E-Commerce? ⬇️

It will depend on the facts of your case, but for example:

➡️ If you work from home, you can register your Limited Liability Company in your home state and use your home address.
➡️ If you travel constantly and have no permanent residence, you can register your Limited Liability Company in any state that is convenient for you (always making sure you have a Registered Agent in that state).

While this is true for a business, for someone seeking a visa (such as an E-1 or E-2), you cannot have a virtual office. You must have bricks and mortar for your business if you want a successful visa.
