Hi everyone, My friend is filing H1B visa from his employer which is a non profit organization. However since he is the only one that organization has ever filed H1B and according to him that his employer is only filing BCIS form I-129. Dont the non-profit organizations have to follow the regular procedures? Of what I know these are the procedures for filing H1B. 1. Wage Verification 2. Filing Labor Certification Application (LCA)---Form ETA 9035 3. Approval of LCA----hard copy sent to the employer 4. Employer posts notices 5. Filing H1B visa petition, Form I-129 6. Waiting for approval. His employer filing I-129 straight way, without following the other procedures, I was curious that things are done a little different for non-profit organizations- are they? Is there a difference in procedure (except for the $ 1000 fee) of filing h1b between profit and non-profit organizations? Any suggestion in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
