H-1B Visa Sponsorship for Employers

Building Your Workforce with Global Talent

The H-1B visa is one of the most common ways U.S. employers bring highly skilled foreign talent into their workforce. It allows companies to sponsor foreign professionals in specialty occupations such as technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, and more.

At Agarwal Law Group, we partner with businesses of all sizes — from startups to established corporations — to guide them through every step of the H-1B sponsorship process, ensuring compliance and efficiency.

Why Employers Use the H-1B Visa

• Fill critical skill gaps in specialized roles
• Retain highly educated graduates of U.S. universities
• Compete globally by hiring the best talent
• Provide employees with a path to long-term work authorization and, eventually, permanent residence

The H-1B Process for Employers

1. Determine Eligibility – Confirm the position qualifies as a “specialty occupation” and the employee meets the education/experience requirements.
2. Lottery Registration and Selection (if applicable) – For cap-subject petitions, applications must be registered and selected in the annual H-1B lottery which occurs once in March of each year.  Only selected registrants may submit a cap-subject H-1B petition.
3. Labor Condition Application (LCA) – File with the U.S. Department of Labor to confirm wage and working condition requirements are met; prepare and maintain a public access file.
4. H-1B Petition with USCIS – Submit Form I-129 and supporting evidence for the prospective employee
5. Approval & Start of Employment – Once approved, the employee may begin working in H-1B status during the validity period specified on the approval notice

Employer Responsibilities

As an H-1B sponsor, employers must:

• Pay the required prevailing wage
• Ensure the employee works only in the position and location(s) listed in the petition or file an amendment
• Maintain a public access file documenting compliance
• Notify USCIS of any material changes in employment

Why Partner with Agarwal Law Group?

• Evaluate whether positions and employees qualify for H-1B status
• Prepare and file all petitions and supporting documentation accurately and on time
• Ensure compliance with Department of Labor and USCIS regulations
