H-1B Employment at the University of Minnesota

Welcome,

ISSS processes H-1B petitions for qualified staff and faculty. We work with hiring departments and the nonimmigrants they hire to determine if H-1B is appropriate for a particular position. We guide departments through the H-1B application process and we assemble and submit the H-1B petitions to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The information on these web pages is only a general overview of H-1B employment at UMN. This is not designed to take the place of direct contact with ISSS.  Each employee’ s circumstances are unique and any advice or course of action must be tailored to the individual employee’s circumstances and the University department’s needs. ISSS is the point of contact for information and advice. To reach ISSS staff that work on H-1B visas please click on Contacting ISSS Staff. We look forward to working with you.
