H-1B Visas

H-1B visas are non-immigrant work permits in the United States that allow U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in specialty occupations, typically requiring a higher education degree. The visa is often sought by companies in fields like technology, engineering, and healthcare. It allows individuals to live and work in the U.S. for up to three years, with the possibility of extensions. There is a cap on the number of H-1B visas issued each year, leading to a competitive application process. The visa is tied to the employer, meaning if the job changes, the visa may be affected.
