The U.S. visa I will talk about today is the H-1B visa. Its requirements can be difficult to meet because you must first be offered employment by a U.S. employer who is willing to sponsor you. Competition for jobs in the United States is fierce, and demand for visas to enter the U.S. grows daily. Furthermore, there is a limit on the number of these visas granted each year for certain first-time prospective H-1B holders. So in this Podcast, we will talk about the H-1B visa. Ensuring you have all the information upfront will avoid costly mistakes.

The H-1B visa is a special visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States to perform "specialty occupations." A specialty occupation requires, at minimum, a bachelor's degree or enough work experience that equates to a U.S. bachelor’s degree.
