What is the H-1B Visa?

The H-1B Visa is a nonimmigrant temporary US work visa for Individuals with Specialty Occupations.

Applicants for the H-1B Visa will generally need to receive a qualifying US job offer from a sponsoring employer in the United States.

This nonimmigrant temporary US work visa is valid for up to three years and has an option to be extended for up to an additional three years if the criteria are satisfied.

The H-1B Visa holder’s spouse and dependent children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) may apply for the H-4 Visa for accompanying family members.
