It's wonderful being able to offer our clients an alternate path. Not only are our clients' lives and companies changed, but it's amazing to pay it forward and improve the quality of U.S. STEM education for our students!

The Build Fellowship has put together a superb program. We were able to get our employee from overseas and shepherd his H-1B capped process. Highly recommend as the complete end-to-end solution for your H-1B needs.
