Solutions to Help You Succeed

H-1B visas allow foreign nationals in a specialty occupation to work in the United States for a temporary period of time. An individual may hold their H-1B status for up to six years, and it may be issued in increments of up to three years by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In certain circumstances, the status may be extended beyond the initial six years.

Below are the requirements for obtaining an H-1B visa:

  • There must exist an employer-employee relationship, meaning that the employer is able to hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of the employee
  • The employer must petition on behalf of the employee
  • The employee must meet the requirements of being in a specialty occupation through having a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • The job must be in a specialty occupation related to the employee's field of study
  • The employee must be paid the actual or prevailing wage for the occupation, depending on which is higher
  • Unless the petition is exempt from numerical limits, an H-1B visa number must be available at the time of filing the petition

  • This entire office is an amazing team and we recommend them to all of our friends

    “We have been using this office since 2014. They have helped us from adjusting my husbands status from his overstayed visa, to getting his travel permit, green card, and now his citizenship! They were able to pretty much do everything for us to where we only needed to submit documents and stay in contact. They made the entire process smooth and quick for us. They helped put our minds at ease when we were worried what could happen while we wait. Very good with quick response times! Very friendly staff! Both Ashley & Jeb were amazing to us and worked closely with us throughout the process! Maria & Josue were our main contacts throughout this as well and were just friendly and always answered my questions. Karen & Ann were amazing with working out payment arrangements for us during a difficult time of a new baby. This entire office is an amazing team and we recommend them to all of our friends who will need to go through these things as well! Thanks for all your help!”
