什么雇主不需受H-1B名额限制

By: Beth Robertie, Esq. 在H-1B申请中，部分雇主是不需受到H-1B名额的限制的，这其中包括大学与一些非盈利或政府的研究机构。以下为有关信息： As many of you probably know, H-1B visas are numerically limited to 65,000 approvals per fiscal year, with an additional 20,000 approvals for graduates of U.S. institutions of higher education with a master’s degree or higher. Both of these categories have hit their cap for the fiscal year 2007. However, there are cap-exempt entities that are not subject to the H-1B cap and so can hire foreign professionals in specialty positions at any time regardless of whether the cap has been reached. Cap-exempt employers include: * Universities, colleges, and related non-profit organizations; * Nonprofit or government research organizations. Beneficiaries of these cap-exempt H-1Bs should keep in mind that if they intend to transfer their H-1B to an industry position (which is subject to the H-1B cap) they would have to wait for an H-1B visa number to be available. However, they are free to switch from an industry position to a position with a cap-exempt entity without regard for the cap as they have already been counted. Please also note that H-1B transfer and extension petitions have already been counted under the cap, and therefore can be filed at any time. 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，劳工卡，绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理，我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集，欢迎读者流览查询。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
