 • What are the requirements for H-1B status?

• How far in advance of the expiration of my current status should I consider H-1B sponsorship?

• What is the current situation with H-1B ?numbers? for undergraduate and graduate students?

• What questions should I ask potential employers about their immigration policies with regard to H-1B status and employing foreign nationals?

• What happens to my status if I am laid off from my job while in H-1B status?

• How can I obtain permanent residency? How does permanent residency relate to my H-1B status?

• How do I maintain my F-1/J-1 status if I marry a US citizen and apply for permanent residency?

I have attached the presentation and the handouts for anyone who cannot make the presentation tomorrow.  Please also feel free to e-mail me at info at harms-law.com to schedule a one-hour consultation for a nominal fee to design an immigration strategy relevant to your particular situation.
