The H-1B visa is a popular work visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals for specialized jobs. These are positions that typically require at least a bachelor’s degree or higher (or equivalent experience) in fields like information technology, engineering, medicine, finance, and other technical areas. Because U.S. law sets a yearly cap on H-1B visas, the process is competitive, often involving a lottery. If granted, an H-1B visa is usually valid for up to three years (renewable up to six years). An H-1B worker may apply to extend beyond six years in certain situations or transition to a green card. To get an H-1B, you must have a job offer from a U.S. company that agrees to sponsor you by filing the petition. We assist companies and applicants by helping prepare accurate petitions, gathering the right documents, and navigating U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) rules to improve the chances of success.
