Visa H-1B:

Specialty Occupations, DOD Cooperative Research and Development Project Workers, and Fashion Models


The H1B work visa is initiated by an employer in the United States. The employer must have an open job position and they cannot find an American employee who is qualified enough to complete the work. This can be any position that requires higher education degrees or that is specialized enough in skills that not many people can do it successfully.

The applications open every year in spring. USCIS approves around 65,000 petitions per year starting from October 1st to September 30th of the following year.
