The H-1B visa allows U.S. companies to employ foreign professionals in occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. It is one of the most popular work visas for international professionals, especially in fields like IT, engineering, finance, healthcare, and education.
If you are a skilled worker looking to build your career in the U.S., or an employer seeking talented international employees, the H-1B visa is an excellent option to explore.
The H-1B is a non-immigrant work visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in professional roles. It is generally granted for an initial period of up to 3 years and can be extended to a maximum of 6 years in most cases.
For the Employer (Sponsor):
Must be a U.S. employer willing to sponsor the foreign worker
Must file an H-1B petition with USCIS
Must pay at least the prevailing wage for the occupation in the location of employment
For the Employee (Beneficiary):
Must have a job offer from a U.S. employer
Must hold at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a related field
Must possess any licenses or certifications required for the job
Each year, there is a limit on the number of new H-1B visas issued:
Regular Cap: 65,000 visas annually
Master’s Cap: Additional 20,000 visas for individuals with U.S. Master’s degrees
Note: Certain employers, such as universities and nonprofit organizations, may be exempt from the cap.
