The H-1B visa is a work visa for foreign professionals who want to work legally in the United States in highly specialized occupations. This type of visa allows U.S. companies to hire qualified international talent in fields such as engineering, technology, healthcare, accounting, law, education, and more.
The H-1B visa is designed for individuals who hold at least a university degree or equivalent experience and are seeking legal employment in the U.S. within their professional field.
The H-1B visa allows foreign professionals to work in the United States temporarily and legally through sponsorship by a U.S. company. It is one of the most common routes to enter the U.S. labor market and, in many cases, can be the first step toward an employment-based Green Card (permanent residency).
Yes. To apply for an H-1B work visa in the United States, you must hold a university degree (at least equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s) in a field directly related to the position you will perform. For example, if you are applying for a software engineer position, you should have a degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field.
The H-1B lottery is a random selection process used by the U.S. government when the number of applications exceeds the annual cap. If the worker is selected in the lottery, the full petition can be submitted.
Only a U.S. employer can file an H-1B visa petition on behalf of the worker. You cannot apply on your own. The employer must demonstrate that the position requires specialized knowledge and that you are qualified to perform it.
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can obtain an H-4 visa. In some cases, H-4 spouses may obtain work authorization if you have initiated the permanent residency process.
