H1B Work Visa General Information: The H1B Visa enables professionals in
"Specialty Occupations" to make a valuable contribution to the American economy.
A maximum of 65,000 H1B Visas are issued every year. The H1B Visa is issued for
up to three years but may be extended. This provides a maximum stay of six
years. The H1B Visa holder can apply for a Green Card if a company wants to
sponsor his/her application.
H1B Work Visa Eligibility Requirements: The H1B Non-Immigrant Work Visa may be
