H-1B Visa
A visa classification that allows a foreign worker to enter the US temporarily for performing services in a “specialty occupation” for a US employer. The H-1B visa classification requires that (1) a foreign national be coming to the US to work temporarily in a “specialty occupation”, (2) that the foreign national have the equivalent of at least a US bachelor’s degree in a field related to that occupation; and (3) that the sponsoring company pay the foreign national the prevailing wage, provide proper notice to its workforce, and not be involved in a strike or lockout. The Neufeld Memo of January 2011 contains a recent update from the State Department regarding H-1B visas and staffing suppliers.
