How does one apply for a H1-B Visa?
An individual may not apply for H1-B visa. H1-B status requires a sponsoring U.S. employer. A U.S. employer has to sponsor the H1-B petition to employ a foreign professional. An employer may apply by filling out the following – Fill out Form ETA-9035 – with the Regional Department of Labor office. Through this application your employer assures the DOL that he/she will provide you with fair salary and equal benefits which are provided to a U.S. citizen. It also states that it was not able to find any U.S. citizen who was qualified for the position. Fill out Form I-129 – Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker. When it is approved, the employer or agent is sent a notice or approval Form I-797 and a copy of it is forwarded to the American Consulate. For further information, read more about the H1-B Visa.
