Since this might be relevant for some startup founders on here, I have a slight nitpick related to the 15% number. There are still thresholds for employers with 50 or fewer employees. Total Employees | threshold to be classified a H-1B dependent employer 25 or fewer | more than 7 H-1B immigrants 26 - 50 | more than 12 H-1B immigrants 51 or more | at least 15% of total employees Note the discontinuity at 50/51 - 8 is over 15% of 51.
