H1B Visa

The H-1B Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. It is one of the most sought-after visas for skilled professionals looking to work in the United States, particularly in fields such as technology, engineering, medicine, finance, and education.

  • The H-1B Visa is designed for positions that require specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific field. Common fields include IT, engineering, mathematics, science, and healthcare.
  • The job must meet certain criteria to qualify as a specialty occupation, such as requiring a degree that is common to the industry or being so complex that it can only be performed by a degree holder.
  • An H-1B Visa applicant must have a U.S. employer willing to sponsor them. The employer is responsible for filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of the employee.
  • The employer must demonstrate that they will pay the prevailing wage for the position and that hiring the foreign worker will not adversely affect the working conditions of U.S. workers.
  • The H-1B Visa is initially granted for up to three years, with the possibility of extension up to a maximum of six years.
  • Under certain circumstances, extensions beyond six years may be available, particularly for those with pending green card applications.
  • The H-1B application process begins with the employer filing a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor, attesting to the wage and working conditions.
  • After obtaining LCA approval, the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS, including all supporting documentation and filing fees.
  • Upon approval, the applicant may apply for an H-1B Visa at a U.S. consulate if they are outside the U.S., or change their status if already in the U.S.
  • The H-1B Visa program is subject to an annual cap of 85,000 visas, which includes 65,000 regular visas and an additional 20,000 for applicants with a U.S. master’s degree or higher.
  • Due to high demand, a lottery system is often used to select petitions, making the process competitive.
  • H-1B Visa holders can bring their spouse and unmarried children under 21 to the U.S. under the H-4 Visa category.
  • H-4 Visa holders may be eligible to apply for work authorization, allowing them to work in the U.S. under certain conditions.
  • The H-1B Visa allows for dual intent, meaning visa holders can apply for a green card while maintaining their H-1B status.
  • This feature makes the H-1B Visa an attractive option for foreign professionals seeking long-term residency in the U.S.
