    Q. I have heard that immigration authorities will start accepting H-1B petitions from U.S. companies in April 2013 to hire professionals in specialty occupation positions, such as engineers, computer systems analysts, financial analysts, and allied healthcare professionals, just to name a few. In past years there were shortages of H-1B visas since they are subject to an annual quota. Though usage was down during the Recession, it started to increase again over the last 2 years. Should our business be concerned about potential shortages in this widely used visa category?
