We focus on professionals who want to work in the United States for a specific period of time. Such professionals would be classified as non-immigrants and would most likely require an H-1B visa. Attached to this issue is a list of non-immigrant visas and their definitions, including information relating to other categories of H visas.
Our law firm has successfully filed thousands of H-1B visas for clients both present in the United States and absent from the United States. Both our staff and clientele continue to grow. We have a team of full-time professionals working on H-1B visas. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions regarding non-immigrant visas.
Persons wishing to apply for an H-1B visa must have a job offer in a position regarded as “Specialty Occupation,” defined as:
Three years of progressively more responsible training and/or work experience in a specialized area for every one year of university studies needed (four years of university studies are generally required).
The H-1B visa is job-specific. This means that you must have a job offer, and the position offered must require your qualifications and/or skills.
To qualify for an H-1B visa, you must have a bachelor’s degree or a higher degree (or its equivalent, depending on the job offer) that satisfies one of the following requirements:
You must have a valid license if the position requires one, e.g. physician, pharmacist, etc.
You must have a job offer. You do not necessarily have to be present in the United States to apply for the visa. However, both you and your employer will be involved in the process. Our office can track the process, making it easier for both the employer and prospective employee.
