What is an H1-B Visa?
The H1-B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. These occupations typically require a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific field of study, such as information technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine, or law.Â
The H1-B visa is highly sought after due to its potential pathway to permanent residency and its allowance for dual intent, meaning visa holders can apply for a green card while on H1-B status.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for an H1-B visa, applicants must meet specific criteria:
- Job Offer: You must have a job offer from a U.S. employer for a specialty occupation.
- Educational Qualifications: A minimum of a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in the relevant field.
- Labor Condition Application (LCA): Your employer must file an LCA with the Department of Labor, demonstrating that they will pay you the prevailing wage and that your employment will not adversely affect working conditions for U.S. workers.
- Cap and Lottery: The H1-B visa is subject to an annual cap, with 65,000 visas available each fiscal year and an additional 20,000 for applicants with a U.S. master’s degree or higher. Due to high demand, a lottery system is used to allocate visas.
