H1-B Visas

The strength of U.S. companies lies largely in the quality of their employees. Many U.S. employers actively recruit worldwide for professional talent in fields ranging from Engineers, Information Technology (IT) specialists, accountants, and market research analysts, to professors and scientists. The H1B Visa (Professional in a Specialty Occupation) allows a U.S. employer to fill a position requiring the minimum of a baccalaureate in the particular field with a qualified worker from abroad. The foreign worker must possess that U.S. degree or an acceptable foreign alternative. In some cases, a combination of studies and relevant experience may substitute for the degree if it is determined by a credentials expert to qualify the foreign professional.

What We Can Do For You : At our Law Firm, we can consult with you to determine that the nature of the position and the beneficiary's background are appropriate for the H1B, and suggest alternatives if the initial proposal is not a viable option. We can advise both the employer and prospective employee regarding the H1B documentation requirements and legal issues. We can also prepare paperwork and submit it to the Department of Labor and USCIS. If applicable, we can prepare and file applications for dependent family members, as well. For those who require or choose consular processing, we can assist with applying for the H1B and H-4 (dependent) visas at the appropriate consulate abroad if needed
