Work Permit (H-1B Visa)
 |
The H-1B is a nonimmigrant classification used by an alien who will be employed temporarily in a speciality occupation of distinguished merit and ability.
The US government has reduced the number of H1-B visas in one year to 65,000 only. It has become very difficult to get H1-B visa for people who are not in specialty occupations which are not of High and extraordinary skills. Still, highly skilled people like Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, Computer Professionals and Accountants along with Scientists stand a bright chance if they can find a US Employer who can sponsor them for the Work Permit and complete the formalities with the Homeland Security office |
and other Govt. departments. Based on the petition approval, the alien may apply for the H-1B visa, admission, or a change of nonimmigrant status.
