Case Introduction

The H-1B nonimmigrant visa category allows U.S. employers to augment the existing labor force with highly skilled temporary workers. H-1B workers are admitted to the United States for an initial period of three years, which may be extended for an additional three years. The H-1B visa program is utilized by some U.S. businesses and other organizations to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require: theoretical knowledge, attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the US. Typical H-1B occupations include architects, engineers, computer programmers, accountants, doctors and college professors.

Maximum 65,000 H-1B non-immigrant visas are issued per fiscal year. However, 6,800 out of these are reserved for Chile and Singapore under certain Free Trade Agreements between these countries and the United States. Therefore, only 58,200 new H-1B numbers are available each fiscal year. If there any visa numbers are unused under the Chile/Singapore quota, they would be used towards candidates that come under the regular cap. Additionally, the Omnibus bill exempts up to 20,000 foreign nationals with Masters' degrees or higher from U.S. institutions of higher education from the H-1B cap.

Qualification

Petitioner

1. A U.S. employer: a person, firm, corporation, contractor or other association or organization in the United States with an IRS tax identification number;

2. Have the ability to pay;

3. The position offered requires:

1) a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific activity (or its equivalent);

2) the knowledge, both theoretical and applied, which is almost exclusively obtained through studies at an institution of higher learning;

3) a specific course of study which relates directly to the position.

Beneficiary

1. Bachelor’s or higher degree:

1) A U.S. Bachelor’s degree, or

2) A foreign degree that is determined to be the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree;

3) Education, specialized training, and/or experience that are equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor’s degree.

2. Qualifying the Position as a "Specialty Occupation”, technical requirements are:

1) full state licensure to practice in the occupation, if such licensure is required to practice in the occupation;

2) completion of the degree in the specific specialty required as a minimum for entry into the occupation; or

3) Experience in the specialty equivalent to the completion of such degree, and recognition of expertise in the specialty through progressively responsible positions relating to the specialty.

Alert

1. USCIS begins to accept the H-1B petitions on April 1st every year. The quota would be used up very soon, therefore, the materials must be get ready before April 1st and file the package with USCIS on April 1st.

2. If the employee’s circumstance is changed, and the change means that the employee is working in a capacity other than the specialty occupation for which U.S. employer petitioned, it is a status violation.

3. There is no grace period for H-1B holders if they are being fired, they’ll be out of status as soon as they are being laid-off.
