Step 3: H-1B Request Form Completion Human Resources

Human Resources completes Part D and returns the position description with any recommended changes to the hiring department to review

If there are any changes to the position description, it is sent back to Human Resources (employment@wichita.edu) for further review.

Step 9: Hiring Process

The hiring department must ensure that all hiring processes are complete in coordination with HR. The hiring process is separate from the H1-B application process.
