Which Companies Are Surviving the Recession?
(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 13, 2009 )
April 1st marks the beginning of the filings of the work visas (H1B). ItÂ’s usually a busy time for immigration attorneys and many companies who sponsor persons with foreign degrees to work in the U.S. on temporary visas. The global recession, however, has given people cause to wonder just how this will affect employment based visas. The answer is - yes, there is a slow down here to.
Many companies are cautious about determining how many H1B to sponsor this year. Â Last year there were 3 filings for each available visa. The cap filled virtually the day filings began, began, and many firms did not get all the employees they needed. Â This year things look different.
H1B jobs are only available when no US residents can fill the job. Â Most of the jobs are high tech IT jobs where there is still a big demand and limited supply of talented workers. But there is a misunderstanding in the country that these foreign workers are taking jobs from Americans. While this is not the case, firms are feeling uncomfortable hiring non-US workers.
Despite this slowdown, the professionals at Career Consulting International (CCI) have stopped wondering how their business will go this "season". The busy season which normally starts in mid-March, was off to an early start. Apparently, while the total pool of applicants maybe smaller this year, CCI is getting a bigger share of that pool. CCIÂ’s Executive Director Sheila Danzig released a statement to her employees the revenues for the last week in February was up 58 percent compared to the same time period in February 2008.Â
CCI, found on the Internet at HYPERLINK "

, specializes in evaluating foreign degrees and diplomas for their U.S. equivalencies. People who attend high school or college in other countries are usually required by universities and employers to have their degree evaluated for the U.S. educational equivalency by a professional evaluation agency. Â
Rush fees often account for a substantial part of the visa season’s profit, but the opening filing date is weeks away, so most clients appear to be getting their orders in well in advance, to save on rush fees in late March and early April. One HR executive explained, “Why should I wait longer so I can pay more money later?”
When asked about the number of larger clients (corporations, IT firms, and attorneys with large numbers of H1B visas to process), Director of Operations Marian Aronson-Finnk offered a glimpse at the busyness unfolding in her work week: “I am not surprised by the number of bulk applications we have processed as of this date,” she shared. “We have built many relationships over the years. Our clients return to us for our personal service, fast turn-around time and lowest-price-guarantee policy.”
CCI believes that is the reason the recession has not caught up with them yet. Customer service liaison Jim Howell was asked whether heÂ’s overwhelmed yet by the number of calls coming in. Howell just smiled and responded, “Our team's job is to help people and give them the best support and advice possible, one at a time, and thatÂ’s what we are continuing to do.  Our trained, experienced support staff is ready to help.”Â
