Re: H1-B Visa Issued... Finally! :-)
H-1B Visa Application
The H-1B Visa is used by foreign professionals who are sponsored by a U.S. employer to work in a specialty occupation in the U.S. An H-1B visa is generally valid for three years and can be extended for an additional three-year period. An employer may sponsor an H-1B employee for a Green Card, if desired.
In order to qualify for an H-1B visa, the applicant must hold at least a Bachelor’s degree and the U.S. position must require at least a Bachelor’s degree. The U.S. employer must agree to pay the H-1B employee at least the prevailing wage earned by similarly employed workers in the area of employment and must make other attestations as stipulated by the Department of Labor. Individuals seeking a U.S. work visa who do not qualify for H-1B status should explore alternate visa options, such as the L-1, or TN visa.
