H-1B Temporary Employees

ISSS may take up to 45 days to complete the processing of the materials for this petition so the department should submit a complete application to ISSS no later than two months prior to the requested H-1B start date.

Temple employees in H-1B status may have occasion to give lectures at other institutions or conferences. Please note that they cannot receive honorarium or other monetary or material gain for such activities, although reimbursement for travel and reasonable expenses is allowed.
