H1b Visa Information And Requirements

Want to live and work in the United States legally

? The H1B visa might be the perfect visa for you. The H-1B visa covers many fields of work ranging from architecture and engineering to health and medicine. This visa allows a foreign national to be sponsored by a US Company for a period of six years and entitles your spouse (husband/wife) and children to accompany you and live in United States of America. Spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 may receive visas as well. Individuals can not apply for an H1B visa. One of the main benefits of the H1B visa is that it is a 'dual intent' visa - you can apply for a Green Card (Legal Permanent Residency).

H1B visas are subject to annual numerical limits, currently 65,000 for Fiscal Year 2011. H1B visa holders can travel in and out of the United States, when it has been granted by a United States Consulate. Certain H1B holders may be eligible to extend their H1B status beyond the six year limit under AC21 guidelines. H1B holder can buy or sell property in USA.

Once the application for H1B Visa has been submitted to USCIS(United States Citizenship and Immigration Service) will be reviewed for completeness. The attached documents will be checked along with the application. If all the requirements are met, USCIS will send an approval notice to the US employer and approval notice will be sent. Using the Approval Notice, the applicant may obtain the H1 visa from the US Consulate. If the application is denied, the USCIS will notify in writing the reason for rejection.
