Immigration Lawyer Gives Tips for Foreign Computer Professionals

IMMIGRATION LAWYER PROVIDES TIPS FOR COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS Computer professionals who are applying for an H-1B visa will have few problems if they prepare their file carefully in advance of filing:
1.	Education credentials must be clear. The degree must be a (reduced) copy of your actual degree; transcripts should state the date and list each course taken for each semester. Degrees earned outside the United States must be evaluated by a Credentials Evaluator to determine whether it meets the standard of a US Bachelor’s degree.
2.	Include information about your college with your petition.
3.	Always include a copy of your High School Diploma/Certificate with the date of graduation and the years attended.
4.	All documents must be in English.

Changing employers If you are an H-1B holder changing employers for any reason, be sure to obtain a letter from your current employer stating your job title, duties, and salary. H-1B PORTABILITY: under current law, you may work for your new employer as soon as the new employer has filed your H-1B petition and has a “proof of filing” to send to you.
