H-1B work visa is generally set aside for foreign workers in "specialty occupations" and fashion models of "distinguished merit and ability." The aliens employed under this employment-based immigration category may be filling permanent positions (“USA Green Cards”) in the United States, as long as they leave the U.S. at the end of their authorized periods of stay, including any extensions of stay. H-1B workers do not need to maintain a foreign residence during their period of stay in the U.S., a requirement imposed on many other non-immigrant visa classifications. In addition, H1 temporary workers may seek permanent residence concurrently with petitioning for or holding H1B visa status. Specialty Occupations: The occupations refer to certain USA jobs that require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge along with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution. The specialty occupations include engineering, architecture, mathematics, social sciences, physical sciences, medicine and health, business specialties, education, law, theology, accounting and the arts. H1B visa classification necessitates a labor confirmation issued by the Secretary of Labor. This categorization also applies to co-production projects managed by the Department of Defense or Government-to-Government research and development. According to the current law, the annual limit on the number of H1B aliens who will be issued a visa or otherwise provided H1B status is 65,000. Around 6800 out of these numbers are reserved for Singapore and Chile under certain Free Trade Agreements between the U.S. and these countries. But in the fiscal years of FY2001, FY2002 and FY2003, the number of H-1B workers was temporarily raised to 195,000. Approximate time for processing to H1B visa Approval Notice: This varies as the typical processing time for a case is 4-6 months. A H1B premium processing case is typically processed within 15 business days. This is obviously all dependent upon the cap and the several criteria of eligibility. (See FAQ for H1B Visa) A foreign employee can work in H1B visa status for a maximum of six years at a time. After that time, he/she must stay outside the U.S., for a year before another H1B petition can be approved. The workers who are employed on Defense Department projects can stay in H1B status for ten years. The benefit of an H1 visa program is that an alien can work lawfully in the U. S. in temporary residence status and obtain the visa quickly after the petition is sanctioned. It also allows the alien to travel in and out of the U.S. without need for Advance Parole or Employment Authorization Document (EAD). H4 dependent visas are available for accompanying family members, including spouse and minor children under the age of 21, of H-1B visa holders. H1B aliens can buy house or any other real estate property in USA. They can also invest money in mutual funds, US stocks, bonds etc. But, H1 visa holders are unable to work as self-employed or freelancer. The law also prevents them from doing contract type of work in free time.
