SAN ANTONIO IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY HELPING TEXAS EMPLOYERS OBTAIN H-1B VISAS FOR FOREIGN EMPLOYEES
The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to recruit and hire foreign professionals to fill specialty occupations within the United States for a 6 year period. During these six years, H-1B professionals can live and work in the United States, and can apply for H-4 dependent visas for spouses and children (under the age of 21). The H-4 visa allows the foreign professional’s dependents to attend school in the United States, but they cannot work. In this process, the employer is known as the petitioner and the foreign worker is known as the beneficiary. The number of H-1B visas issued each year is subject to an annual cap. H-1B applicants must possess at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. This equivalency includes a 3-year degree and 3 years of relevant post-graduate experience, or 3 years of experience for each year of required college education. Occupations that qualify for H-1B visas typically require highly specialized knowledge including, but not limited to: Information Technology, Finance, Engineering, Mathematics, Scientific Research, Architecture, Social Science, Bio-Technology, HealthCare, Education, Theology, Arts, Accounting, Banking, Marketing, Sales, Recruitment, and Telecommunications.
