An H-1B is a temporary, nonimmigrant visa issued to foreign nationals in specialized fields that typically require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in experience and skills. This visa is mainly used by professionals in the IT, financial, engineering, and medical fields. The annual H-1B cap is 85,000 visas, with 65,000 allocated for bachelor’s degree holders and 20,000 for those with advanced degrees. H-1B visas are initially valid for three years but can be extended for up to six years. Since they are dual-intent visas, holders may pursue permanent residency while maintaining H-1B status. Spouses and children under 21 can also obtain H-4 visas as dependents of the H-1B holder.

I cannot say enough great things about Marielba. After dealing with several immigration attorneys in the past who rarely returned calls, failed to keep me updated, and left me feeling frustrated and stressed, working with Marielba has been a completely different experience.
From day one, she has been professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. No matter how busy she is, she always takes the time to answer my questions, explain every step of the process, and make sure I understand what is happening with my case. One of the things I appreciate most is how quickly she gets back to me. In immigration matters, communication is everything, and Marielba consistently goes above and beyond to keep me informed and on top of all my cases.
What truly sets her apart is the way she treats her clients. She doesn’t make you feel like just another case number. She treats you like family. She genuinely cares about the people she helps and works tirelessly to make sure they receive the best possible representation. Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail have given me peace of mind during what can often be a stressful and overwhelming process.
I am incredibly grateful for everything Marielba has done for me. She has exceeded my expectations in every way and restored my faith in what a great attorney should be. If you are looking for an immigration attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and truly cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Marielba. She is an outstanding attorney and an even better person.
Thank you, Marielba, for always being there, for your hard work, and for treating me like family. You are truly one of a kind!!!!!
