The H-1B visa program is one of the most sought-after work visa categories in the United States, designed for professionals in specialty occupations that require at least a bachelor's degree. Industries with high H-1B demand include technology, engineering, healthcare, finance, and academia. Each fiscal year, USCIS caps new H-1B visas at 85,000 (65,000 regular plus 20,000 for US advanced degree holders), making the annual lottery highly competitive. An experienced H-1B attorney can help strengthen your petition by properly documenting the specialty occupation requirement, prevailing wage compliance, and the employer-employee relationship. Common challenges include RFEs questioning job specialty, wage level disputes, and visa stamping delays at consulates.
