H1B Employment Visa
The H-1B program allows companies and other employers in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers in occupations that require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or higher in the specific specialty, or its equivalent. H-1B specialty occupations may include fields such as architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, business specialties, accounting, law, theology, and the arts.

What do I need to know?
Stability
The H-1B Visa program has no home residency requirement. The H-1B visa is valid for three years and can be extended one time for an additional three years. In general, the H-1B is valid for a maximum of six years.
H1B Cap Exempt Status
Universities and related nonprofit entities, nonprofit research organizations and government research organizations are exempt from the cap. These employers are able to submit an H-1B application to the USCIS at any time during the year without concern for the fiscal year limit. However, a person who works for an H-1B cap-exempt employer who changes jobs to an employer that is not exempt may become subject to the H-1B cap. There is also an exemption from the annual cap for the first 20,000 new H-1B beneficiaries who have earned a Master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution of higher education.
Expedited Processing
Premium processing is a service offered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that expedites the processing of certain immigration applications.
