H-1B Visa Program

The H-1B Visa Program is a U.S. immigration option that allows American employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, which typically require a higher education degree or specialized knowledge. This visa is often sought by tech companies and other industries facing skill shortages. An employer must sponsor the application, demonstrating the need for the foreign worker and making sure no qualified American workers are available for the position. H-1B visas are typically granted for up to three years, with the possibility of extension, allowing foreign professionals to work legally in the U.S.
