With the economy steadily improving, the talent pool of qualified workers is shrinking which has caused a spike in the demand for H-1B visa sponsorship of highly-educated and highly skilled foreign workers.

Last year the quota was filled in just over two months.

This timely event will provide an overview of other visa options U.S. businesses may have available to hire and employ the best available talent and strategies to bridge those gaps when visas are not available.
