    Posted by: Rauhmel Fox Rauhmel Fox on Nov 21, 2009

    United States Employers are not required to hire an nonimmigrant aliens with time-limited employment authorization such as an F-1 international student authorized for 12-months of Optional Practical Training (OPT).

    Cost-conscious employers, especially small business or nonprofit organizations, frequently perceive the process as cumbersome or misunderstand their obligations and are reluctant to petition the USCIS to adjust a nonimmigrant's work status, simply have a policy against it, or do not want to incur any additional expenses.

    If you are an F-1 OPT nonimmigrant alien and you think you will have trouble informing potential H-1B sponsors on their responsibilities associated with filing the USCIS Form I-129, "Petition for Temporary Worker," register for a workshop offered by WHOmentors.com, Inc. today to learn the rules and procedures before the interview!

    Phone/sms text 415-373-6767 or e-mail Rauhmel@WHOmentors.com
