Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for my immigration case?
While immigration law allows individuals to represent themselves, the complexity of US immigration law makes professional legal representation highly advisable. Statistics consistently show that represented applicants have significantly higher approval rates across most visa categories.
What is the H-1B cap for 2026?
The H-1B regular cap remains at 65,000 visas per fiscal year, with an additional 20,000 visas reserved for applicants holding a US master's degree or higher. Our attorneys help employers and applicants navigate the lottery registration process each March.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer?
Yes, H-1B visa holders can transfer to a new employer through the portability provision. Once the new employer files an H-1B petition, you may begin working for them immediately under certain conditions, even before USCIS adjudicates the petition.
