  1. The H1b visa is for skilled workers, defined as work requiring a university degree or its equivalent in trainging and experience. If you are qualified, you have to find an employer who is both willing to hire you and then file the proper petition with USCIS. If that's approved, then the petition is sent on to the embassy in the country where you live and you are scheduled for an interview. You would need to be approved at the interview to actually receive the visa.


  2. Application Document Requirements

    The application must be filed with the appropriate fee payment, and evidence that:

           The applicant is a national of a country with which the U.S. has the requisite treaty or agreement;

           The activity constitutes trade as defined at 8 CFR 214.2(e)(9);

           The trade is of a substantial nature (i.e. an amount of trade sufficient to ensure a continuous flow of international trade items between the U.S. and the treaty country);

           The trade conducted by the alien is principally trade between the United States and the treaty country of which the alien is a national. Trade is deemed to be principally between the U.S. and treaty country when over 50% of the volume of international trade conducted by the treaty trader is between the U.S. and treaty country of the treaty trader’s nationality;

    If the applicant is not the principal trader, he or she must be employed in an executive or supervisory capacity, or possess special qualifications that make the applicant’s services essential to the successful and efficient operation of the enterprise.

    Labor Condition Application

    The first step to hiring most H-1B workers from outside the U.S. is for the employer to file a labor condition application (LCA) with the Department of Labor (DOL). Then the employer is required to file the LCA approval notice with the I-129 petition. For specific procedures on filing, please visit the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.

    Some terms and conditions of the H-1B classification:

           Work authorization for H-1B foreign specialty workers is employer-specific (i.e. limited to employment with the approved employer/petitioner).

           A change of employer requires a new H-1B petition; under some circumstances, a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H1-B visa or provided H1-B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H1-B employer as soon as the new employer files a “nonfrivolous” H1-B petition for the nonimmigrant. For more information, please go to our Changes to the HB Program page.

         Multiple employers require multiple H-1B petitions.

         The employer is responsible for return transportation costs for an employee terminated prior to the end of the approved period of employment.

         H-1B foreign specialty workers are not required to maintain foreign residence and may seek permanent residence in the U.S.
