🔍 Myth: “The H-1B process is too competitive, so it’s not worth registering employees.”


✅ Fact: If you want to attract and retain top talent, registering for the H-1B is one of the lowest-risk, highest-reward immigration options available.


📌 Why Employers Should Register Their Employees for the H-1B


1️⃣ Low Upfront Costs – High Potential Reward


 • The H-1B registration fee is just $215 per employee.

 • Add a small legal fee to ensure proper filings, and you’ve made a minimal investment for the chance to secure a skilled employee long-term.


2️⃣ New Lottery Rules Create Fairer Odds


 • USCIS has changed the selection process to focus on individual applicants rather than multiple employer registrations.

 • This levels the playing field and gives each sponsored employee a fairer chance of selection.


3️⃣ No Selection = No Further Costs


 • If your candidate isn’t selected, you’ve lost nothing significant beyond the small registration and legal fee.

 • If they are selected, you’ve locked in skilled talent who can help your business grow.


4️⃣ A Key Tool for Retaining Top Talent


 • International hires contribute critical skills to many industries, including tech, engineering, healthcare, and finance.

 • Without the H-1B, you risk losing valuable talent to competitors or forcing skilled workers to leave the U.S.


5️⃣ H-1B Employees Can Stay Long-Term


 • Unlike temporary work authorizations, H-1Bs can be extended and lead to permanent residency.

 • This means less turnover, fewer hiring headaches, and stronger workforce stability.


📌 Key Takeaway for Employers:


📢 Registering an employee for the H-1B is a small investment with a big potential payoff. The cost is low, the process is simple, and the reward is securing top talent for your business.
