Experienced Immigration Lawyer in El Paso
In order to successfully apply for an H-1B visa, the job applied for must meet one of these requirements:
- The minimum job requirement is a bachelor's or higher degree or its equivalent.
- This degree requirement is an industry standard or the job is so complex or unique that it can be performed only by an individual with a degree.
- The employer's job requirement normally includes a degree or its equivalent.
- The nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that the skills required are usually associated with a degree.
Once the petition is approved by the government, the visa applicant must complete a non-immigrant visa application that includes an interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
We can help prepare you for that interview and what you can expect from the process.
