Which Visa is Right For You? L-1 Versus H-1B
One of the “easiest” ways to get into the United States is through a work visa, although we use the term “easiest” loosely. No matter which visa you apply for, the process is full of hurry-up-and-wait steps to file documentation, pay fees, and attend interviews.
What to Do When Your H-1B Transfer is Denied
The denial rate for H-1B transfers has steadily risen over the past few years. If you want to avoid having yours denied, or you’ve submitted it, and it already was, read this guide. We’ll show you the most common reasons for rejections and how to overcome them and get your transfer approved or find alternatives.
H-1B LCA: What Is It, and How Can Yours Be Approved?
Statistically speaking, the H-1B visa is the most in-demand option for people trying to come to the United States. The employer and employee must meet specific criteria to obtain the visa, but it all begins with the H-1B Labor Condition Application from the Department of Labor. This application, called an LCA, is the foundation for the rest of the H-1B petition. This guide walks you through the details of an LCA and how to get yours approved.
What to Do if Your H-1B Visa is Revoked
Getting your H-1B visa is an excellent step in your career, but what happens if it’s revoked while you’re in the United States? Can you and your family stay in your temporary home if you’re laid off? We’ll explain the laws and requirements about what you need to do if you face a visa revocation or layoff here.
H-1B Visas for Teachers
Are you a primary, secondary, or college teacher with a job offer in the United States? You may be eligible for an H-1B visa as a foreign worker in a specialty occupation. But teachers have unique challenges to overcome to get approved for this visa. Here are all the details you need to know as a foreign professional trying to teach in the US.
What is the H-1B Visa Annual Cap?
USCIS created an annual lottery when the request for H-1B visas outweighs the number available. Does your position fall into the annual cap category? Read on to find out.
Examples of Cap-Exempt Jobs
The typical foreign worker applying for an H-1B visa goes through the regular and advanced degree path. However, these paths require each petition to go through a random lottery selection, making it difficult to ensure yours is selected. However, if you qualify for a cap-exempt job, you can skip this part of the process. We’ll explain how to do that and what kinds of jobs qualify as cap-exempt here.
Changing From OPT to an H-1B Visa Status
You have many benefits when you’re already in the United States as a foreign student under Optional Practical Training (OPT). But when your OPT is over, and you want to continue working in the country, how can you change your status to an H-1B visa? This short guide explains everything you need to know to move from OPT to an H-1B.
H-1B Visa Benefits
Considering petitioning for an H-1B visa? You’re in good company. This document has long been the most popular method of obtaining permission to work in the United States from outside countries. The benefits of the H-1B visa are extensive, and if you’re a foreign professional who qualifies for approval, you’ll enjoy these advantages.
H1-B Visa Transfer Premium Processing
Applying for a visa is a long yet vitally important process. If you’re concerned that your visa may have delays or you won’t meet the cap, premium processing can speed up the approval and increase your chances of getting selected. In this post, we’ll cover everything related to premium processing, including what it is, who it’s best for, and how much it costs.
