In fiscal year 2017, USCIS approved nearly 385,000 H-1B visa petitions and denied about 83,000. Following are the most common reasons for the denials of those petitions, please read carefully and check employer LCA denial history.

The employer has to provide documentation, such as a tax identification number, tax returns or financial statements. Website printouts, brochures, photographs of the employer's premises, and any licenses or stock certificates will also helpful.
   


2. The employer fails to establish that an employer-employee relationship exists. The relationship must continue to exist with the beneficiary throughout the duration of the requested H-1B validity period. read more about employer-employee relationship
   


3. The foreign worker does not have the required education or experience. H-1B occupations usually require the attainment of a bachelor degree or its equivalent in order to enter the profession.
