H-1B Hiring Update
This message has been approved by Shelley Lopez, Director, Communications/Training & Organizational Development, for distribution to all Department Representatives.
To comply with Florida Board of Governors (BOG) Regulation 1.001(5)(h), FSU has a current moratorium on hiring new employees requiring immediate H-1B sponsorship through January 5, 2027.
The need for future sponsorship does not automatically disqualify a candidate. To determine whether a candidate requiring sponsorship is eligible for employment at FSU, please reach out to the FSU in-house immigration attorney, Leslie Crosdale (lcrosdale@fsu.edu). She will help departments determine whether a candidate will meet the requirements for hire under the Florida BOG regulation.
Questions? Contact Leslie Crosdale, Associate General Counsel, at lcrosdale@fsu.edu.
