If you are seeking to transfer an individual from India to the U.S. for employment, then the employer/sponsor will need to petition and file for a work visa status, such as an L-1A/L-1B or H-1B. L-1 petitions may be filed immediately, whereas, an H-1B may be applied for on April 1, 2017 provided it is a first time cap-subject H-1B petition. Our office could assist with either of these options. It is anticipated that the H-1B cap will be exceeded again next year, which means that a random lottery will determine which H-1B cases are selected for processing.
