H-1B visa (Specialty Occupation)

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, which typically require a higher education degree or equivalent experience. This includes fields like technology, engineering, and healthcare. To qualify, the employer must demonstrate a need for specialized skills and the worker must meet specific educational requirements. The H-1B program is limited in the number of visas issued annually, and it often involves a complex application process. Ultimately, it aims to fill skill gaps in the U.S. job market while providing opportunities for foreign professionals.
