Cómo calificar para una visa H-1B

Lo primero que debe tener es una oferta de trabajo de un EE.UU.. empleador. La posición debe ser permanente y debe ser llenado temporalmente. La ocupación debe requerir conocimiento especializado normalmente se adquiere a través de una educación universitaria. En otras palabras, como mínimo, you will need a bachelor’s degree or substantial on-the-job experience that is the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.

Su experiencia por sí sola puede ser suficiente para una visa H-1B. Por ejemplo, una persona que había 22 years experience as a document systems manager was able to qualify for an H-1B visa without the necessary Bachelor’s Degree.
You may also qualify with less experience if you have completed some university courses or have earned the equivalent of an Associate’s in Arts Degree (2 años de grado). Every three years experience in the subject specialty occupation is the equivalent of one year towards a university degree. A bachelor’s degree normally requires 4 años en completarse.

The job you will be performing in the U.S. and your background must match. Si, por ejemplo, you have a bachelor’s degree in engineering and have 6 years experience in engineering but you are applying for the position of accountant in the U.S., you are not eligible for an H-1B visa.

Our office will obtain the required Academic Credential Evaluation (ACE). If you were educated outside the United States , an ACE will determine the American equivalence of your educational level. If you have many years experience in the occupation, the ACE will also rate your job experience as an academic equivalence.

If the state in which you will be working requires a license for your particular occupation, then that requirement must also be satisfied above and beyond the bachelor’s degree.

Secondly, Las Oficinas Legales de Evelyne M. Hart will file the Labor Condition Attestation (LCA) with the Department of Labor on behalf of the employer. The LCA provides the proffered wage and the working conditions.

Finally, our office will file the Petition on behalf of your employer with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. With this petition we will be proving four things:

You are eligible for an H-1B visa
The position can only be filled by an employee with specialized knowledge
You have the correct background and skills for the position
Your U.S. employer has the ability to pay your wage.

Premium Processing

Premium processing in the amount of $1,000 payable to the government allows the application to be processed much faster than if filed conventionally. Premium processing is often recommended due to the current 65,000 cap.

Portability

If you wish to change jobs, you may do so after your new employer files a new petition. We must prove that you were lawfully admitted, that the new petition is not frivolous (not without basis in law or fact), that the new petition was filed before the expiration of your H-1B visa and that you have not been working without authorization.

Extension of stay

An H-1B is valid for 3 years and is renewable for another 3 años. If you are unemployed in the United States while in H-1B status, the period of unemployment would be counted toward the 6-year term. Sin embargo, if you leave the United States for a significant period of time, your absence may suspend the 6-year limitation. An extension of stay to work for the same employer, if timely filed, continues employment for 240 days while a decision pending.

You may extend your H-1B status beyond the 6-year limit if a labor certification took 1 year or longer to be certified and an I-140 Petition or adjustment application has been filed before the expiration of your H-1B visa. Under those circumstances, H-1B status may be extended in one year increments.

Attending Classes

An H-1B visa holder may attend classes so long as they are incidental to H-1B status.
