Key Steps in the H1B Visa Process
Successfully navigating the H1B visa process is crucial and involves detailed steps:
- Assessing Eligibility: This involves ensuring that the job offer and applicant's qualifications meet the H1B specialty occupation criteria.
- Labor Condition Application: The employer must file an LCA with the U.S. Department of Labor, attesting to the wage and working conditions.
- Petition Filing: The employer submits Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, to USCIS, along with supporting documents and the LCA.
- Application Review and Decision: USCIS reviews the petition and, if approved, the applicant can proceed to visa stamping and entry into the U.S.
Understanding and meticulously following these steps are vital for a successful H1B visa application.
