H-1B filing in Charlotte — FAQ

How do I file an H-1B petition for an employee in Charlotte?

File a certified LCA with the DOL for your Charlotte worksite, then submit Form I-129 to USCIS. On h1bfiling.com, create an employer account, start a case (Charlotte, NC worksite), invite your candidate, and our lawyers prepare the LCA and I-129 petition — flat fee $2,999.

What is the difference between H-1B filing and an H-1B petition in Charlotte?

"H-1B filing" is the full process: LCA certification, Form I-129 petition assembly, and USCIS submission. The petition (I-129) is the formal request to USCIS. h1bfiling.com handles both for Charlotte employers in one workflow.

How long does an H-1B petition take for Charlotte employers?

LCA certification typically takes 7–14 days (longer if flagged). USCIS I-129 processing varies by service center and premium processing. Most Charlotte employers complete document collection and LCA prep in 2–4 weeks on h1bfiling.com before USCIS submission.

Can I transfer an H-1B employee to my Charlotte worksite?

Yes. Change-of-employer H-1B transfers require a new LCA for your Charlotte location and a new I-129 petition. Candidates already in H-1B status skip the lottery. AC21 porting may apply upon USCIS receipt.
