H-1B Predictions: Will there be a lottery again?

On Tuesday, April 1, 2014, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting H1B cap-subject case filings for fiscal year 2015 (FY15).

April 1st may seem a long time from today, but employers and potential H1B workers would be wise to begin the process of preparing their petitions as early as possible. This advance prep work is beneficial both in identifying potential problems while enough time remains to resolve them, and in revealing other possible benefits that may be pursued.
