Im new to the sponsorship visa game. how does non-profit sponsorship for H1 work? what should be the starting point ?
im aware it is cap-exempt, locked to non-profit companies only, but does it mean it has to be applied under regular cycle ?

  • I didnโ€™t knew this. Thanks a lot for asking this question. I also didnโ€™t knew there was a cap exempt h1. This is very helpful.

    Cap exempt H-1 can be applied at any time in the year.

    Usually Hospitals/University are non-profit entities, hence they can file under cap exempt when they hire alien foreign person.

    One important thing to note is if at any time in oneโ€™s career, individual goes through non-cap exempt H-1 visa lottery and it is approved, they can switch to-fro to cap exempt and non-exempt employer.

    USCIS has guidelines which specify whether organization is non profit or not. Does your organization fit in that criteria? I am planning to join non profit next month but it doesnโ€™t fit into the criteria and my H1B will be in normal quota only.

    If you arer working for a non profit, you can submit the application at any time. it's off from the cap.
