The H1B visa is a type of visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. This visa is commonly used by employers in the technology industry to hire workers with specialized knowledge or skills. The H1B visa program allows employers to bring foreign workers to the United States for a period of up to three years, and in some cases, the visa can be extended for an additional three years. To be eligible for an H1B visa, workers must have at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in a specialty field related to their job.
