Our immigration attorneys in Los Angeles have learned from the U.S. Department of State, that beneficiaries of an approved H-1B petition with an October 1, 2014 start date may now start filing a visa application at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate abroad.
U.S. visa posts are authorized to accept H visa petitions and issue visas 90 days in advance of the applicant’s employment start date. However, it is important to note that beneficiaries of H-1B visas may only enter the U.S. on H-1B status 10 days prior to October 1, 2014 or their proposed start date.
