USCIS H-1B Immigration Lawyer
We Can Help You Get the Right Work Visa for the Right Employee
The H-1B is a non-immigrant classification used by a foreign worker seeking temporary employment in a “specialty occupation” in the United States. The government describes a “specialty occupation” as any work that requires specialized knowledge, including a minimum educational requirement of a 4-year bachelor’s degree. Examples of job classifications that may be considered specialty occupations include architects, engineers, scientists, mathematicians and certain business specialties.
Over 10 years of helping employers and professionals succeed
Ames Immigration has been helping employers and professionals successfully seek H-lB status for employment for over 10 years. Our clients include hospitals, manufacturers, research corporations, engineering companies, and other corporations who employ those with a bachelor’s degree or higher. We also serve many F-l students who are completing Optional Practical Training (“OPT”)and have the opportunity to change their status to H-1B so that they may continue to live and work in the U.S. Many H-IB visa holders go on to obtain their green cards through their H-IB employer in the PERM labor certification process.
