H-1B1 Visa

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.
