Get the Assistance You Need for Your H-1B Petitions

Foreign workers fulfill an essential need in the American economy, especially in the fields of science, technology, and mathematics. An H-1B Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows United States employers to hire specialized, highly-educated individuals on a temporary basis. Generally, an H-1B visa is valid for three years, but it may be extended for up to six years. Immediate, complete, and timely filing is essential to H-1B filing whether it is subject to Cap or Cap Exempt.

Do You Qualify for an H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa Program?

The H-1B Visa program includes both requirements for the employer and the foreign worker. There are many requirements, but the job position and degree requirements must be met for all H-1B petitions.

The job position must be for a “specialty occupation” and requires the following:

  • A bachelor’s degree or higher, or its equivalent;
  • “The degree requirement for the job is common to the industry” or is complex and/or unique in a way that requires an individual to have a degree to be successful;
  • An “employer normally requires a degree to its equivalent for the position;” or
  • Job duties is specialized and requires knowledge usually associated with the completion of at a minimum a bachelor’s degree.

The foreign worker also must meet the following degree requirements:

  • Completed a US bachelor’s degree or an equivalent foreign degree to be utilized for the specialty occupation; or
  • Completed a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited US university to be utilized for the specialty occupation to be eligible for a Master cap selection
