H-1B Visa Eligibility Criteria: Unlock U.S. Employment Opportunities

Are you seeking a path to U.S. employment through the H-1B visa program? Understand the vital eligibility factors:

  1. Specialty Occupation Requirement: Secure a role qualifying as a specialty occupation —positions demanding specialized knowledge, typically necessitating a U.S. bachelor's degree or its equivalent.
  2. U.S. Employer Sponsorship: Secure a legitimate job offer from a U.S. employer ready to sponsor your H-1B application. They must initiate the process by filing the crucial Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, for you.
  3. H-1B Visa Education Qualification: Hold at least a bachelor's degree in a field pertinent to your job role or its foreign equivalent. Sometimes, hands-on work experience can offset educational prerequisites.
  4. Prevailing Wage Commitment: Your sponsoring U.S. employer must adhere to the prevailing wage standards for your role and region, ensuring fair compensation in line with local benchmarks.
  5. Labor Condition Application (LCA) Approval: The LCA, a pivotal step, requires your employer to gain approval from the Department of Labor (DOL). This attests to their commitment to wage and working conditions.
  6. State Licensing and Certification: For roles needing specific licenses (e.g., medical professions), ensure you have the needed credentials to practice in the intended U.S. state.
  7. H-1B Cap Consideration: Recognize the annual visa cap — set at 65,000 for bachelor's degree holders with an added 20,000 for U.S. master's graduates. Some entities, like research organizations, enjoy cap exemptions.
