H-1B Work Visa
Each year, this program grants 65,000 special class, temporary visas to high-skilled foreign workers with at least a bachelor’s degree who qualify to work in the U.S. for three to six years. For noncitizens with advanced degrees from U.S. universities, another 20,000 visas are awarded. In order to hire individuals through this program, a company with operations in the United States must file petitions and confirm foreign workers will work in conditions similar to other employees and will be paid the prevailing wage rate for their positions.
Who Qualifies for H-1B Visa
Not every profession qualifies for this type of visa. Generally speaking, qualifying “specialty” occupations are those requiring highly specialized and technical knowledge in fields including, but not limited to:
- Accounting
- Architecture
- Biotechnology
- Computing
- Engineering
- Education
- Finance
- Healthcare And Medicine
- Information Technology
- Law
- Marketing
- Mathematics
- Telecommunications
- The Arts
- Healthcare And Medicine
With one limited exception, foreign nationals cannot self-petition for H-1B visas. Rather, employers serve as the petitioners, with their foreign workers as the beneficiaries.
