For a limited time, certain H-1B workers can renew their visas from within the United States. This is a significant change that alleviates burdens on both the worker and employer.
Immigration partner Berin Romagnolo hosted a 15-minute virtual forum on LinkedIn Live, guiding you through this process. She covered:
- Eligibility criteria for the new rule
- Application procedures and timelines under the new rule
- Impact of the new rule on workers and employers
In addition, Berin contrasted this to the existing and continuing visa renewal system at US Consulates abroad, including:
- Logistics of Applying for a visa abroad
- Documents needed
- Employer/Work Considerations
