H-1B Visas Attorney In Charlotte, North Carolina

It's important to note that the annual quota for H1-B visas is limited to 85,000 (as of 2020). To begin the process, your employer needs to file a petition on your behalf. This is accomplished through Form-129, the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, and it should be submitted at least six months prior to the anticipated visa start date. As the prospective employee, you should have received a job offer, and your employer must adhere to the federal minimum wage regulations.

The job in question must fulfill one of the following criteria:

• Mandate a degree of a certain level for the worker.
• Involve work of such complexity that a Bachelor's Degree or higher is necessary.
• Be suited exclusively for an individual holding a Bachelor's Degree or higher.

Moreover, the worker must meet one of the subsequent three prerequisites:

• Possess a Bachelor’s Degree or an equivalent credential from an accredited university or college.
• Attain complete certification or licensure for performing the requisite job (this can be accomplished in the home country).
• Acquire a certification comparable to academic training or exhibit 12 years of relevant experience in the field.



Alternatively, meeting the above qualifications can also make you eligible for the H1-B visa if you are an entrepreneur who has established a business. There's a distinct H1-B visa category tailored for entrepreneurs.
