H-1 B Visas for Foreign Workers in Specialty Occupations
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign workers in specialty occupations to work in the United States for a temporary period of time. Specialty occupations are defined as those 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 is generally required for entry into the occupation.
H-1B visa holders may enter the United States for up to three years, and may extend their stay for an additional three years. After the six-year maximum period, H-1B visa holders must leave the United States for at least one year before they are eligible to apply for another H-1B visa.
H-1B visa holders are typically employed in occupations such as architecture, engineering, computer programming, medicine, and business.
