Double the Approval for an Indian Programmer

Background

H-1B visas are one of the most sought over visas these days. Our client, was a leading residential property insurers in the southern region of the U.S. They had over 1,000 agencies in just the state of Florida. For years, they were leading in the region of protecting homes and businesses from natural disasters and unforseen events. However, like any company commited to staying ahead of the curve, they needed someone to drive their IT and software automation further. This is when our client came to us, asking us for advise on obtaining an H-1B visa for an Indian citizen.

Case

Robbie was the candidate our client needed to lead the next wave of IT innovation in the company. He was a highly skilled IT professional from India with many years of experience, making him the perfect fit for their Team Lead of Programming position. With a Master’s degree in computer science and specialization in computer information systems, he had the specialized expertise and experience that could streamline the company’s operations. His job responsibilities would include:

  1. Automating software applications
  2. Supporting systems documentation
  3. Collaborating with technical teams and non-IT partners
  4. Leading projects
  5. Analyzing key metrics
  6. Ensuring compliance with industry standards

A highly skilled individual in a specialized role like Robbie’s would require an H-1B visa, but it’s important to note that just qualifying and submitting the paperwork for an H-1B visa for Indian citizens is not enough.

  3. Legal Compliance: The H-1B process is quite technical, with strict requirements on labor conditions applications, wages and working conditions. In addition to providing douments, we  explained how our client supported Robbie’s salary and role requirements.
  4. Tailored case: Nowadays, with stricter compliance rules for the H-1B, we knew the basic requirements would not be enough to get this case approved. We ensured that Robbie’s petition showcased his specialized skills and his role’s direct impact on the company’s growth and success.
