H-1B Visa FAQ

The H-1B visa is for foreign professionals hired by U.S. employers in positions that require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. To qualify, the job must be considered a "specialty occupation," the worker must hold a required degree (or its non-U.S. equivalent), and the employer must agree to pay at least the prevailing wage for the role in the worksite location.
