In the United States, a foreigner is given the legal right to work for a business using an H1B visa. The H1B Visa is renewable after three year duration in order to avail another three years. Eventually, in order to avail this one type of US Visas, certain procedure is needed to be followed.

The first requirement to get this H1B Work Permit is that an individual must operate in a specialized position. To be able to carry out the task in a certain position he must have a four year Bachelors degree or College degree. These specialty jobs commonly involved Aeronautical Engineering, Science, Design, Firm, Software Development, Sales, Economics, Attorneys, Journalism, Research and Academia.

The H1B Visa schooling required that the applicant have finished a 4-year post-school study and acquired a Bachelor's qualification or greater. Every three years of professional operations expertise in a specific industry is the same of 1 year at University or college; this is according to the US immigration requirements. Consequently, a recent graduate student with four-year College schooling and no operate practical experience is suitable. Still suitable is an applicant with absolutely no college study and has twelve years function valuable experience and a person with 24 months college training and nine years function expertise.


Since an H1B Visa is a Company sponsored visa, you have to find a person, firm, or enterprise within the United States which offers an IRS Tax number to receive work permit sponsorship. They are the ones requesting the U.S Citizenship and Immigration in behalf of the applicant since an applicant cannot acquire an H1B Visa without an employer or a company. Thus, instead of a service provider relationship, there has to be an employee-employer relationship which further means that the employee can be engaged, supervised and fired. Conversely, an employee should not start their job ahead of receiving their H1B visa.

On the other hand, there are so many options that are open for those who wish to work in the United States temporarily on an H1B extension. There are many work categories that include intra-company transfer visa (L-1 visa), B-1 visa, H-2B visa, H-3 visa, O-1 visa, O-2 visa, P-3 visa, and more. You also have the option of an H1 B specialty occupation visa issued by the US Consulate/Embassy that allows you to work temporarily in the United States. So you would require a sponsoring employer in order to apply for the visa. If approved, the sponsored will then receive notice that the petition has been authorized. Then an interview will take place at a U.S consulate for vis stamping, to receive the work permit.
