Event Details

Recent updates to the H-1B visa process — including the new $100K fee and stricter eligibility rules — are reshaping how employers hire global talent for the US market.

Join Deel’s Global Workforce Consultant, Josh Blay, and Immigration Attorney, Maria Marty, for a live session unpacking what these changes mean for employers and how to navigate the 2027 H-1B lottery with confidence.

Learn how to prepare effectively, stay compliant, and build a strong strategy for securing top international talent.

What's on the agenda?

  • In this expert-led session, you’ll get a clear breakdown of the updated H-1B lottery process — including insights into the new $100K registration fee, who’s actually affected, and why most standard applications, such as those for recent graduates moving from OPT to H-1B, remain largely unaffected
  • You’ll also learn how to prepare and optimize your applications, strengthen documentation, and avoid common compliance pitfalls. Plus, we’ll explore alternative visa options — like the L-1 and O-1 — for candidates not selected in the lottery
  • We’ll wrap up with a live Q&A, giving you the chance to get answers tailored to your company’s unique hiring and relocation needs.

“Preparing the H-1B petition is remarkably easy with Deel Immigration. The team provides a wealth of knowledge about immigration in the workplace and simplifies a complex process for our legal and HR teams using a tech-driven approach.”
