Process Your H1B Visa Case

The H-1B program creates opportunities for foreign professionals to work legally in the United States. Essentially, it allows employers to hire qualified workers in specialty occupations for a temporary time period. Specialty occupations include science, teaching, accounting, engineering and information technology. The requirements are designed to comply with the Department of Labor standards and one of the main components in the Labor Condition Application (LCA).
