What does it mean to get h 1b?

H 1B visa is a work visa, which is issued to foreign employees with professional skills employed by American companies. H 1B allows the holder to stay in the United States for up to six years. If his identity has not changed for six years, such as getting a green card, he needs to return to China.

First, H 1B does not represent citizenship, but allows you to work legally in the United States, and has relatively ample time to apply for a green card in the United States.

Second, to apply for H 1B, you must be a foreign employee with professional skills. The meaning of foreign nationality is easy to understand, so what is professional skill and how to prove it?

1, must have a bachelor's degree in the United States (or equivalent foreign degree) or above, and must also be higher than the industry average education level, such as lawyers or professors, master's degree or even doctoral degree level is necessary.

2. Occupation must be a special professional job recognized by American law, such as computer programmer, engineer, lawyer, accountant, architect, physiotherapist, pharmacist, medical technician, professor, teacher, doctor, librarian, management consultant, hotel manager, model, economist, agronomist, biologist, chemist, geologist, horticulturist, nutritionist and mathematician. If you are not sure whether your job is suitable for application, please go to the Immigration Bureau in official website to inquire about the school, or write and call directly. Don't trust other people's advice.

3. If you are a special talent recognized by the United States, such as winning Nobel Prize, Olympic medal, Oscar and other industry awards, you meet the application criteria.

Third, the application for H 1B must be from an American employer company. Please note that not all American companies are qualified to help employees apply for H1B. These employers must first submit the ETA-9035 form to the US Department of Labor, and then the Department of Labor will review the opinions before they can obtain the qualification to employ foreign employees, and submit the I- 129 form to the Immigration Bureau. Therefore, students should do more preparation and investigation on their job choices after graduation.

Fourth, as a work visa, H 1B only represents your legal status and does not affect your employment relationship with the employer company. The company is willing to help you apply because you are good enough, but it doesn't mean that you owe the company anything extra. If you want to jump to a new job opportunity, the employment relationship of H 1B can be transferred to a new company without being affected.
