H1B VISA

The H1B Visa Program is the official and primary USA work visa / work permit.With H1B Visa you can stay.The US Government introduced the H1B visa to offer and enable highly skilled International Professionals and/or International Students, from all over the World, the opportunity to live and work in the USA.One of the basic requirement for H1B is the education. To qualify for the H-1B visa category, the prospective H-1B employee must hold a U.S. bachelor's or higher degree, or the equivalent.A Labor Condition Application (LCA) is first filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Then a Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, with H Supplement, and supporting documentation including the approved LCA is filed with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Regional Service Center having jurisdiction over the city of intended employment. A fee is required and the petition must be filed by a U.S. employer. Once the INS approves the H1B petition,it will forward the approval to a U.S.Consulate. After this visa expires, you must leave the country for no less than one year. After the one year period has elapsed, you may once again reapply for the H1-B. However, one of the greatest advantages to the H1-B visa is that it allows the professional worker to seek permanent residency, or a "Green Card" for the worker and his/her entire nuclear family while working in the United States.The person must hold a U.S. equivalent 4 years bachelor's or higher degree from an accredited college or university. If the foreign degree is 3 years bachelor's degree,3 years of work experience in same or similar field /occupation can be considered to one year additional education.Visa is valid for three years. However, it may also be extended for an additional three years resulting in a six-year maximum. If you seek a second H1-B because you changed employers, this will not extend your stay under the H1-B for another six years.Section 106 contains special provisions requiring the INS to grant extensions, in one-year increments, past the six-year maximum, in cases of lengthy adjudications.H1B workers, who are the beneficiaries of EB visa petitions or who have submitted applications for adjustment of status, and only if 365 days or more have elapsed since,the filing of an application for a labor certification on their behalf or the filing of an EB visa petition on their behalf.



APPLYING FOR THE JOB

To get anywhere in life it is sometimes necessary to put yourself forward - and if you're looking for work overseas you're going to have to put yourself forward to be noticed in the form of an online application or CV/resume and covering letter.Because your CV will be your initial contact with any recruiter it has to represent you in the best possible light possible.This means that your resume and covering letter have to be well written; if you're applying in a language other than your mother tongue you should consider paying for a professional translation to be done because recruiters hate receiving poorly put together job applications. In their view someone who cannot be bothered to make the maximum effort with their personal CV probably cannot be bothered to do a good job full stop and are therefore hardly worth considering for employment. Therefore it is up to you to put together the most well written, compelling and interesting application for employment possible.Don't fill out your CV or covering letter with lots of flowery embellishment, be succinct and to the point. You should illustrate why you think should be considered for employment with examples of relevant experience you have and you should ensure you supply details of qualifications you have, referees who can supply personal and employment references and you should include all your personal contact information.

H2B VISA

The H2B visa is available to employers of foreign unskilled workers not working in the agricultural field. This visa is only available for work that is temporary in nature. he duration of the visa is limited to the employer's need for the temporary workers.The maximum authorized period is one year. However, the employer may extend the duration of the visa up to three years.An H-2B visa is granted to skilled and unskilled workers that fulfill the needs of the employee, that other Americans cannot. The idea is that you are being granted a visa because you have skills and abilities that are going to help an American company.
