The H-1B Visa category applies for those individuals who want to perform services in a specialty occupation.

Requirements

For an H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa, there are various requirements for both the applicant and the employer.

As an applicant, in order to qualify to accept a job offer in a specialty occupation, you must meet one of the following:

• Have completed a U.S. bachelor’s or higher degree required by the specific specialty occupation from an accredited college or university;
• Hold a foreign degree that is the equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s or higher degree in the specialty occupation;
• Hold an unrestricted state license, registration, or certification which authorizes you to fully practice the specialty occupation and be engaged in that specialty in the state where you’ll be employed;
• Have education, training, or experience in the specialty that is equivalent to the completion of a degree, and have recognition of expertise in the specialty area.

The job you’ll be accepting must meet one of the following criteria in order to qualify as a specialty occupation:

• Require a bachelor’s or higher degree or its equivalent;
• The degree requirement for the job is common in the industry, or the job is so complex/unique that it can only be performed by an individual with a degree;
• The employer normally requires a degree or its equivalent for the position;
• The specific duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge needed to perform usually requires a bachelor’s or higher degree.

Additionally, your prospective employer will need to file a Labor Condition Application in order to receive Labor Certification.

Period of Stay

If you obtain an H-1B Visa, you may be admitted for a period of up to three years. You may extend your time period, but generally you cannot extend beyond a total of six years, though some exceptions apply.
