Join Capital Factory and Immigration Attorney, Jason Finkelman, on February 9th for an in-depth discussion into the H-1B visa category, including eligibility requirements, the H-1B cap and lottery system, recent trends, and unique strategies for employers, high-tech professionals, entrepreneurs and startups to ensure their best chances for success.
