H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa Services

The H-1B visa is one of the most sought-after nonimmigrant work visas in the United States. It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign professionals in specialty occupations that typically require a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific field. At KW Immigration Law PC, we assist both employers and foreign workers in navigating the complex H-1B process from start to finish.

Who Qualifies for the H-1B Visa? To be eligible for an H-1B visa, the following requirements generally must be met:

• A valid job offer from a U.S. employer for a position that qualifies as a “specialty occupation”
• A minimum of a U.S. bachelor's degree or its equivalent in a related field
• Evidence that the position requires the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge
• Employer registration and entry into the H-1B annual lottery (for cap-subject positions)

Our H-1B Legal Services Include:

• Employer and employee eligibility assessments
• Registration for the H-1B lottery (cap-subject petitions)
• Preparation and filing of H-1B petitions, including Labor Condition Applications (LCA)
• Extension, amendment, and transfer filings
• Guidance for change of status and consular processing

Important Considerations:

• The H-1B cap is currently limited to 65,000 regular visas and 20,000 additional visas for U.S. master’s degree holders each fiscal year
• Timing is critical—H-1B registration generally occurs in March each year
• Certain employers (e.g., universities, nonprofit research institutions) may be cap-exempt
• Dependents may qualify for H-4 visas, and some H-4 spouses may apply for work authorization
• Tips for a Successful H-1B Petition:
• Begin preparations early to avoid delays and meet all deadlines
• Ensure that the job description and requirements reflect a specialty occupation
• Maintain consistency and accuracy across all documentation
• Consult with an experienced immigration attorney to address any complexities in the applicant’s background or job offer
