  • Arlington, VA Immigration Lawyer filing your H-1B Visa:

    The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows business professionals to work in the United Stated for a specific period of time.  The purpose of the H-1B visa is to give U.S. employers the opportunity to hire foreign nationals for employment if a U.S. citizen or resident is not available.  A person may hold an H1B visa for a maximum of six years, and in certain circumstances may get further extensions.

    Requirements:

    • The employee must have completed a U.S. bachelor’s or higher degree required by the specific specialty occupation from an accredited college or university, or hold a foreign degree that is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s or higher degree in the specialty occupation.
    • The job must require a bachelor’s or higher degree or its equivalent.
    • The employer for an H-1B petition must obtain a Labor Condition Application (LCA) for the U.S. Department of Labor before filing for an H-1B visa.
