Are you a foreign national seeking to work in IT in the US or an employer seeking to hire one? The ticket to entry is the H-1B visa, the gateway for the world's best and brightest to live and work in the United States. A new resource for navigating the maze of H-1B laws, policies and procedures is How to Secure Your H-1B Visa: A Practical Guide for International Professionals and Their U.S. Employers, new from Apress. Written by veteran Silicon Valley immigration lawyers, the book lays out the whole H-1B process from petition to visa to status maintenance to visa extension and, ultimately, to permanent residence in the US. It shows you step by step exactly how the H-1B process divides up between the employer and employee. Additional coverage areas include administrative and enforcement trends, special conditions that apply to nationals of particular countries, complementary visas for family members and H-1B substitute visas for professionals with particular skill sets or from particular countries, such as Australia and Canada.
