The H-1B Visa has received a lot of attention this year. It is considered a “Specialty Occupation”, non-immigrant visa that is designed to allow U.S. employers to recruit and employ foreign professionals in the USA for a set period of time.

An H-1B Visa allows foreign workers in specialty occupations to legally live and work in the United States for as many as 6 consecutive years. The program also allows the H-1B Visa holder’s spouse and minor children to accompany him/her and legally live in the USA on an H-4 visa.

Specialty occupations that qualify for H-1B visas include: IT, Architecture, Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Scientific Research, Social Science, Biotechnology, HealthCare/Medicine, Education, Law, Accounting, Business, Theology, Arts, Computing, Finance, Accounting, Banking, Marketing, Sales, Recruiting, and Telecommunication, among others.

Why An H-1B Visa Attorney Is Essential To Securing Your Visa

The H-1B Visa program is extremely popular with both employers and foreign candidates. The program has an annual cap of 65,000 visas, though there are certain visa holders who are exempt from the cap. Candidates and their employer must meet certain minimum requirements in order to be considered for this type of visa.

The cap and its’ exemptions, the degree of coordination required between the visa candidate and their employer, and the current political climate complicate matters for certain visa holders or for those who are trying to get an H-1B Visa for the first time. Hiring an H-1B Visa attorney is the best way to navigate these requirements and secure your desired outcome.
