H-1B1 Visa FAQ

The H-1B1 visa is a temporary, employment-based visa category available exclusively to citizens of Chile and Singapore under free trade agreements with the United States. It allows professionals in certain specialty occupations to work in the U.S. for a U.S. employer. Like the standard H-1B, applicants must generally hold at least a bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in a field directly related to the offered job.
