H-1B and Beyond: Understanding Compliance and Alternate Visa Pathways
The FY2027 H-1B lottery results are in. Whether your candidates were selected or not, the work is just beginning.
For selected candidates, employers face a compliance landscape that continues to shift: prevailing wage obligations, amended petition triggers, site visit preparedness, and the $100,000 consular processing fee introduced by the September 2025 Presidential Proclamation.
For candidates who were not selected, the question becomes what alternatives exist and which ones are realistic for your team.
This 90-minute webinar covers both sides. We will walk through viable visa alternatives to the H-1B, including the O-1A, L-1, EB-1, and EB-2 NIW, with a focus on when each pathway makes strategic sense for employers. We will also break down the key compliance requirements HR and mobility leaders need to have on their radar as they move forward with H-1B petitions this cycle.
The session includes practical scenario walkthroughs drawn from common employer situations, followed by a live Q&A.

Alternate visa pathways beyond the H-1B: O-1A, L-1, EB-1A/EB-1B, and EB-2 NIW, including eligibility criteria, timelines, and strategic fit for employers
