Jabat erat, Ahmad Syamil Toledo, OH ------------------------------------------ CampusCareerCenter Visa Wizard Students� do you have general questions about the immigration process or have a specific interest in learning more about what is involved in petitioning for an H-1B (U.S.) visa? The H1-B nonimmigrant visa category was established for foreign workers in "specialty occupations" and "fashion models of distinguished merit and ability." Generally speaking, a "specialty occupation" is a professional position requiring: a "theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge," and; the "attainment of a bachelor�s degree or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent)." Significantly, H1-B workers may obtain full time permanent positions in the United States, provided, however, that the worker leave the United States at the end of the authorized period of stay, including any extensions of stay. H1-B visas generally provide for three years of employment, with a potential extension of up to three years for qualified candidates. Also of importance is the fact that H1-B workers do not need to keep a foreign residence during their period of stay in the United States. H1-B candidates may, however, seek permanent residence status (green card) while petitioning for or holding H1-B status. Thus, candidates seeking to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis can use the H1-B as a starting point for their career. Be aware that the availability of H1-B visas is limited by a yearly quota, and although this quota has been increased recently, even the new quota is not likely sufficient to meet future U.S. labor demands. As a result, it is a good idea to gather all available information needed for your petition at your earliest convenience so that when the time comes to actually file a petition, you will be ready to move quickly and efficiently. Some of the necessary information you will need is listed below: Copies of academic degrees. Copies of academic transcripts (if needed). Degree equivalency evaluation for foreign degrees. Copies of licenses to practice the "specialty occupation" (if applicable). Letters from past employers documenting relevant experience. Documents proving experience equivalency (if necessary). Finally, although many students feel the immigration process will limit their chances for U.S. employment, if you have a working knowledge of the visa process, and are prepared to act immediately when you have a job offer, you can effectively limit, if not eliminate, any significant immigration burdens to your candidacy.
