H-1B Work Visa for College Educated Professionals
 General
Information: The H-1B visa enables professionals in "specialty
occupations" to make a valuable contribution to the American
economy. A maximum of 65,000 H-1B visas are issued every year. The
H-1B visa is issued for up to three years but may be extended. This
provides a maximum stay of six years. The H1-B visa holder can apply
for a Green Card if a company wants to sponsor his/her application.
Eligibility Requirements: The H-1B non-immigrant visa may be
issued to applicants seeking temporary work in a "specialty
occupation" which requires the skills of a professional. "Specialty
Occupations" includes e.g. accounting, computer analysts,
programmers, database administrators, web designers, engineers,
financial analysts, doctors, nurses, scientists, architects and
lawyers. The petitions are submitted by employers based on their
need for the non-U.S.-resident employee. The applicant may possess a
bachelor's degree or requisite experience to make up for the lack of
a master’s degree.
