Are you feeling the pressure of hiring or retaining highly skilled foreign nationals at this time of changing laws and policies? In October 2003 (FY2004), the cap for H1-B visas was reduced from 195,000 to 65,000. These reduced visa numbers were exhausted in just five months. For next fiscal year, the situation will remain the same pending any unforeseen congressional action, and it is possible that the visa numbers could be exhausted even before the new fiscal year starts!

The opportunity to file for FY2005 is here. Join us for an informative webinar on navigating these new restrictions, where we'll help you:

Determine the cap's impact on your organization, when to file for an H1-B, and why.

Learn which jobs are affected by and which jobs are exempt from the cap.

Explore alternatives to the H1-B, and stopgap measures for those who need them.

Find out what you can do to influence future decisions made by Congress.
