The H-1B1 visa allows citizens of Singapore and Chile who wish to work temporarily in the United States in a specialty occupation.
It is available to professionals who have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience and are employed in a specialty occupation, which typically requires specialized knowledge in a particular field.
To apply for an H-1B1 visa, the applicant must have a job offer from a U.S. employer who is willing to sponsor the foreign national. The employer must also file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor, which outlines the terms and conditions of the employment, including the wages and working conditions.
It is important to note that the H-1B1 visa has a limited annual cap of 1,400 visas for Singapore citizens and 1,400 visas for Chile citizens, which means that it may be subject to availability and processing times may vary.
This Visa does not grant the spouse of the beneficiary a work permit, during the validity of the Visa.
