U.S. Visas for Professionals and People Occupying Specialty Occupations
The H-1B visa is for individuals that possess "theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge requiring completion of a specific course of higher education." There are also limited numbers of H-1B visas available for fashion models, Government-to-Government research and development, or co-production projects administered by the Department of Defense.
The lawyers of Robert Brown LLC will review the documentation that you will need for your H-1B visa petition and obtain an evaluation of your education and work experience.
Applying for an H-1B Visa
In order to successfully apply for an H-1B visa, the job applied for must meet one of these requirements:
- The minimum job requirement is a bachelor's or higher degree or its equivalent
- This degree requirement is an industry standard or the job is so complex or unique that it can be performed only by an individual with a degree
- The employer's job requirement normally includes a degree or its equivalent
- The nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that the skills required are usually associated with a degree
Once the government approves the petition, the applicant must complete a Nonimmigrant Visa Application that includes a pre-scheduled interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
