The Build Fellowship’s nonprofit partners serve as the petitioners for cap-exempt petitions for 5 hours per week, and the full-time employer is the petitioner for the full-time concurrent employment. As for the timeline, the nonprofit partner’s cap-exempt petition is filed first. On the Build Fellow’s first day, an approval notice and employment verification letter are shared with the employer to include in the concurrent cap-exempt filing, to demonstrate employment with the cap-exempt organization.
