For an H‑1B visa, the job position must be classified as a specialty occupation which demands at least a four-year bachelor’s degree. A U.S. employer has the responsibility to submit the Labor Condition Application (LCA) and Form I-129 when they apply for your H‑1B visa. The foreign worker needs to fulfill both educational qualifications and professional experience criteria. H‑1B visa holders are limited to employment with their designated sponsoring employer and they need to keep their visa status current. All changes in employment and visa renewals require submission to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Dependents of H‑1B visa holders have the option to travel with them using the H‑4 visa program.
