H-1B Visa for Professionals and Companies in the USA
Work or hire specialized talent in the United States through the H-1B visa. A work visa for professional roles that require a university degree and employer sponsorship.
What Is the H-1B Visa
The H-1B visa is a temporary work authorization that allows foreign professionals to provide services in specialty occupations for U.S. companies. It requires a sponsoring employer and is granted for up to 3 years, with the possibility of extending to 6 years.
It is a key employment pathway for skilled roles and, in many cases, the first step toward eventual permanent residency.
