H-1B & Other Non-Immigrant Visas
H-1B & Other Non-Immigrant Visas in Chicago
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that lets U.S. employers temporarily employ foreign workers in a specialty occupation. An employer seeking to sponsor a foreign national for an H-1B visa must be able to show that the prospective employee has at least a bachelor’s degree, or its foreign equivalent, in a field relevant to the specialty occupation that they are to be hired in and that the employer generally requires such a degree. It is important to note that Congress has limited the number of H-1B petitions that may be accepted each year (the “H-1B Cap”). A person who has never been in H-1B status will likely be subject to this lottery system, except in certain situations, such as petitions filed for H-1B workers who are employed at an institution of higher education or its affiliated or related nonprofit entities or a nonprofit research organization, or a government research organization.
While the H-1B visa is the primary means by which employers hire foreign nationals in professional positions, it is not the only temporary work visa available. Our attorneys at Minsky, McCormick & Hallagan can assist its clients with obtaining many of the non-immigrant visas available to employees in the United States, including, but not limited to, the following:
- H-1B visa
- B-1/B-2 visitor and business visas
- L-1 visas for intra-company transferees
- J-1 exchange and training visas
- O-1 visas for those with extraordinary abilities
- R-1 visas for religious workers
- TN Visa for certain professional workers from Mexico and Canada
- E-2 Visas for treaty investors
