Work In The US As A Specialty Worker

The US H1B Visa is one of the most popular ways to work in the US. It is a visa that must be applied for by an employer on behalf of a specialist employee. Since the visa is granted to specialists, typically applicants hold at least a Bachelor’s degree and are from fields such as IT, finance, architecture, medicine, science etc. We help employers with filing for H1B petitions for their employees. We also help employees from across the world get hired by companies likely to sponsor them for an H1B visa.

U.S. H-1B (work visa) Processing Times

H-1B Lottery & Registration Stage
  • Cap-subject H-1B visas (new applicants subject to the annual quota) begin with an online registration in March each year.
  • The lottery results are usually announced within 2–3 weeks (by the end of March/early April).
SCIS Petition Processing (Form I-129)
  • Regular Processing:
    Typically 3 to 6 months, depending on workload at the USCIS Service Center (California, Vermont, Texas, Nebraska, or Potomac).
  • Premium Processing:
    If the employer pays the USD 2,805 premium fee, USCIS guarantees a decision (approval, denial, or RFE – Request for Evidence) within 15 calendar days.
Visa Stamping at U.S. Consulate (Outside the U.S.)
  • After USCIS approval (Form I-797 Notice of Action), the applicant must apply for a visa stamp.
  • DS-160 completion, fee payment, and interview scheduling: Timeline varies by country and consulate.
  • Consular processing time: Usually 1–4 weeks after the interview, if no administrative processing is required.
The H1B Visa is one of the most competitive visas to apply for. Due to there being an annual visa cap, there is a huge demand from US employers applying for this visa. Additionally, since it is a route to a Green Card, it is one of the best visas to apply to work in the US.
Under the H1B, successful petitioners can:
  • Live and work in the US.
  • Extend the stay in the US.
  • Change employers during H-1B status.
  • Stay with their dependent spouse & children (aged under 21) in the US.

Documents Required

Employer (Sponsor) Documents

The U.S. company filing the H-1B petition must submit:
  • Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker) completed and signed.
  • Labor Condition Application (LCA) certified by the U.S. Department of Labor.
  • Employer support letter describing the job role, duties, and why the foreign worker is qualified.
  • Proof of business operations (e.g., business license, annual report, financial statements).
  • Company tax returns or wage reports to prove the ability to pay the salary.
  • FEIN verification letter (if requested by USCIS).
  • Copy of employment agreement or offer letter showing salary and position.
