In this week’s Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, I am joined by Lynda Hagerty, our Chief Legal Officer for Excellence at Alcorn Immigration Law, as we discuss everything you need to know about getting ready for the next H-1B season, which officially starts now. We talk about some of the most important frequently asked questions about H1-Bs.
Lynda is a business immigration attorney who has been practicing business immigration law for about 20 years with boutique-style firms. It’s great to hear her perspective on H-1Bs as well as some tips on how people can start preparing for the coming H-1B lottery season.
