Burr & Forman immigration attorney Jonathan Eggert authored the article “H-1B Domestic Visa Renewal Program Eases Travel Days,” which was published on March 8 by Industry Today.

The article discussed the U.S. Department of State’s efforts to ease the strain on U.S. Consulates and Embassies through the H-1B Domestic Renewal Program, which allows qualified foreign nationals to renew their visa without leaving the United States.

Eggert detailed the qualifications for the program, the availability of application slots, and important deadlines to keep in mind for those renewing. He also shared practical insights on how to apply for the program.

“While the H-1B Domestic Renewal Program is initially being rolled out on a limited basis, it has the potential to provide significant benefits to foreign national employees and employers,” Eggert explained. “As the pilot program goes into effect and application slots are opened, employers should evaluate their H-1B workforce and communicate eligibility requirements to employees.”
