What are the requirements for getting H-1B visa for USA?
Answer:
The H1B status is for foreign workers who will hold specialty occupations. A specialty occupation is one which "requires theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge to fully perform the occupation AND which requires the attainment of a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States."
Thus, there are two requirements: First, the employer must demonstrate a need for someone in a specialty occupation as the minimum capability to perform the job; and second, the foreign national must have the required degree, or its equivalent, in a subject closely related to the position.
Under the regulations, the need for a person in a specialty occupation can be shown by one of the following:
a) a bachelor's or higher degree is normally the minimum requirement for entry into the particular position;
b) the degree requirement is common in the industry in parallel positions among similar organizations, or the position is so complex or unique that it can be performed only by an individual with a degree;
c) the employer normally requires the degree for the position; or
d) the nature of the duties are so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform them is usually obtained through a bachelors level or higher education.
You must have a college degree and skills which are needed in the United States. Then, you must find a US employer willing to hire you and sponsorship your visa.
