H-1B season is upon us. Prepare to file the H-1B visas by April 1st to increase your chances of obtaining a work permit. Remember that there are only 65,000 H-1B visas available for those with a Bachelor's Degree (or its U.S. equivalent) and 20,000 for those with a U.S. Master's Degree. Remember that the H-1B is not just for researchers, scientists, engineers and doctors. It is for anyone serving in a professional and specialty occupation in the U.S. The H-1B gives 6 years of professional work authorization.
