The H-1B visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise—usually in fields such as:

1. Information Technology (IT)
2. Engineering
3. Finance
4. Architecture
5. Healthcare
6. Education

This visa is for skilled foreign professionals, International students on OPT seeking long term employment and migrants with a background in STEM or other technical/professional fields.

The H-1B visa process has specific timelines and annual limits, so timing is very important. Here’s a clear breakdown:

1. H-1B Lottery & Petition Process:
   • March: Employers register for the H-1B lottery during a designated period (typically mid-March).
   • Late March: USCIS conducts the lottery and selects candidates.
   • April–June: Selected employers file full H-1B petitions.
   • Processing Time:
     • Regular processing: 3 to 6 months
     • Premium processing: 15 calendar days (for an extra fee)

        

2. Start Date:
   • If approved, the earliest employment start date is October 1 of that year.

• The H-1B cap is 85,000 visas per year (65,000 for regular cap + 20,000 for U.S. master’s degree holders).
• The process must be employer-sponsored—an individual cannot apply on their own.
• If you miss the March registration, you’ll have to wait for the next fiscal year cycle unless you qualify for a cap-exempt H-1B (e.g., working for a university or nonprofit).

When your papers are submitted to the USCIS for approval, you may include your dependents in your petition and they will be granted H-4 (non-working) visas. This will also be valid for as long as your H-1B is valid. If the dependents are outside the United States. they will have to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate in that country to get their H4 visas.

All legal matters concerning the processing of the work visa will be handled by the immigration law offices we work with. Please check the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov for the latest application fees.

Absolutely. In fact, we encourage our applicants to call the Law Office we work with for any questions they may have about their case.

First, you need to make sure that your new employer will sign for your new Work Visa. An H-1B authorizes you to work only for the Sponsoring Company. If you change companies you have to file a Change of Employer or a new H-1B visa.

Yes. In addition to H-1B, we can help explore other employment-based visa options depending on your background and goals. Our team works closely with immigration professionals to guide you toward the most suitable pathway to legal immigration and long-term employment in the U.S.
