I have a college degree and want to work in the U.S. can I qualify for a work visa? |
 |
There is a type of non-immigrant visa known as an "H1-B visa" which allows the temporary employment of aliens in "specialty occupations." A specialty occupation is defined by the INS as an occupation which requires theoretical and practical application for a body of highly specialized knowledge to fully perform the occupation.
The basic requirements are that you have a sponsoring employer, the position offered must require a bachelors degree or higher to perform the job, and you must possess the appropriate academic degree. There is a six (6) year maximum period of stay in the U.S. for H-1B workers. Particularly with the assistance of an immigration lawyer, many professional occupations, such as accountants, engineers, market research analysts, and statisticians can qualify for this type of visa. |
