Hi there,

Just wanted to share this article...

H-1B

General Information:
The H-1B Non-Immigrant Visa is designed for professional people who are coming to the United States to work for an employer in "Specialty Occupations". A maximum of 65,000 H-1B visas are issued every year. An additional 20,000 H-1B visas are available to foreign nationals with a minimum of a Masters level degree from a US academic institution. Employees of institutions of higher education, related or affiliated nonprofit entities, or nonprofit or government research organizations are not subject to the numerical limit and may file at any time. Visas are issued for three years and may be extended for an additional three years.

You may pursue a Green Card application through employment sponsorship in any other category. The list of specialty occupations includes, inter alia, Financial Analysts, Doctors and Nurses in managerial positions, Scientists, Architects, Lawyers, Accountants, Computer Analysts, Web Designers, Programmers, and Engineers. A Bachelor degree is required (or the equivalent in work experience). Spouse and unmarried children will be entitled to H-4 Derivative status.

The "Temporary Professional Worker" visas are available to individuals with a four-year bachelor's degree from the U.S. or abroad seeking a “Specialty Occupation” position with a United States employer. Under recent interpretations, the employer can be a corporation owned entirely by the foreign professional and/or his/her family. The visa is available for a maximum of six years and there’s the possibility that it could lead to permanent residency.

Thanks and God Bless to all!!!
