An H-1B visa is used by companies in the United States to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis to fill specialty occupations. These occupations include medicine, chemistry, biotechnology, engineering, and architecture. The foreign worker must have a bachelor's degree or higher.
The H-1B visa is for international job seekers who are looking for employment in the USA.
The Immigration and Nationality Act's Section 101(a)(15)(H) permits U.S. firms to hire international employees in professional industries. A bachelor's degree or the equivalent in work experience is required for a specialty occupation in addition to the application of specialized knowledge. The minimum period of stay for which it is granted is three years, but it can be extended to six years.
