H1B Visa Background

The H-1B is a temporary work visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in specialty occupations.

For specialty or skilled workers with at least a Bachelor's degree.

VISA DURATION
3+3 Years
Initial 3-year period, extendable for another 3 years. Further extensions possible with pending green card.
FAMILY VISAS
Family Friendly
Spouses and children can get an H4 visa, though in most cases they cannot work.
PORTABILITY
Transfer Ready
If your candidate has an existing H-1B, you can transfer it to your company. They can start working upon filing, not approval.
GREEN CARD ELIGIBLE
Dual Intent
H-1B allows dual intent - employees can pursue permanent residency while maintaining H-1B status. Start the green card process anytime.
