The Economic Times recently included immigration attorney Divij Kishore of Flagship Law in its coverage examining how U.S. companies are adjusting their approach to H-1B visa sponsorship amid increasing regulatory uncertainty and higher financial stakes.
The article, “US Companies Backing Only Those Seen Making H-1B Cut,” explores a growing trend: employers are becoming more selective about which foreign professionals they sponsor, submitting fewer applications and prioritizing roles viewed as essential or highly competitive under the evolving lottery system.
As immigration policies continue to shift, companies are reassessing staffing strategies, weighing whether to increase compensation to improve selection odds, and tightening internal sponsorship guidelines. The piece also highlights the broader impact on OPT holders, international graduates, and foreign nationals whose long-term work authorization depends on the H-1B pathway.
Kishore’s inclusion reflects Flagship Law’s ongoing role in helping employers and professionals navigate high-stakes immigration decisions with clarity, compliance, and forward-looking strategy. As sponsorship becomes more competitive, legal guidance is increasingly critical for businesses seeking to retain global talent while adapting to changing government frameworks.
Flagship Law continues to advise clients across sectors—including technology, healthcare, and energy—on immigration planning, alternative visa pathways, and long-term workforce mobility solutions.
