THE H-1B LOTTERY

Maged Rost is now accepting clients who would like to apply for cap-subject H-1B status for FY 2009.  As many of you are undoubtedly aware, this year’s 65,000 cap was exhausted on the first day cases were accepted for filing.  In fact thousands of petitions were rejected even though they were received on April 2, 2007 (April 1, 2007 was a Sunday).

For those who wish to commence H-1B employment on October 1, 2008, the petition may be filed as of April 1, 2008 (and preferably no later as all available cap-subject petitions will likely again be exhausted in a single day).  Please call or e-mail us for additional information.  www.magedrost.com.
