H-1B Workshops at OSU, Spring 2008

ISFS is pleased to announce two H-1B workshops this Spring Term. These workshops are free and open to all international students and scholars.  Please come to get more information about this common type of employment-based immigration status.

Title:  THE H-1B VISA -- TEMPORARY NON-IMMIGRANT WORK STATUS IN THE U.S.

Wednesday, 4/23/2008
Kelley Engineering
4:00 - 5:50 pm

Monday, 5/19/2008
Gilfillan Auditorium
4:00 - 5:50 pm.

Presenter: Ms. Jennifer Doreen, Immigration Attorney

Workshop Description:
The H-1B is an employer-sponsored, non-immigrant category which allows persons who are not citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. to work for up to six years
in a specialty occupation.  The employer must apply for the H-1B on behalf of the prospective H-1B employee through the United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS).  Because the procedures and record keeping required for the H-1B are complex, an attorney or other trained person will be necessary to complete the paperwork.

This general, introductory meeting is offered for OSU international students and scholars and will cover topics related to obtaining the H-1B visa such as the following:
   * Employee eligibility criteria
   * Employer's role
   * Types of jobs appropriate for H-1B
   * Salary guidelines
   * Application timing issues
   * Updates on pending legislation
   * Options for F-1 or J-1 students and scholars
This meeting is *NOT* designed to explain how a person can apply for the H-1B him- or herself.  This meeting is also *NOT* designed for individuals who will be hired at OSU in H-1B status.

Best wishes,
Rachael
