Filing H1B without a lawyer

[ramkrs80]

is it easy to file h1 b application without going throught a lawyer ?

I mean if my manager does the paperwork without hiring a lawyer .

What are the steps involved in filing for a H1B in general ?

Also my company is a startup and I am the only immigrant . Would I require to pay the 2000$ fee (since its required only for 50% or more immigrants working in the same company)

Thanks

If they don't know how to handle that, it is best to have a lawyer to do it. There are pitfalls which could result in the application being denied.
