H-1B Visa Application for Skilled Workers: Comprehensive Legal Guidance
Applying for an H-1B visa in the U.S. can be a complex and competitive process for both employers and skilled foreign professionals. The visa allows U.S. companies to hire nonimmigrant workers for specialty occupations requiring expertise in areas like IT, engineering, medicine, and finance. With strict caps and detailed compliance requirements, securing legal counsel is key to success.
