U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials recently announced that they are beginning an effort to clarify regulations for foreign investors seeking a temporary worker visa like the H-1B visa.

Also included in the effort will be information on the EB-5 green card visas available to foreign investors looking to start a business in the United States.  While up to 10,000 EB-5 visas can be given out a year, only about half as many are typically used.

Federal officials say they will hold forums that will provide information on obtaining the H-1B visa and the EB-5 green card visa and will work with employers to further inform them on temporary worker visas.

To speak with an experienced immigration attorney about acquiring an H-1B temporary worker visa, contact the Orange County temporary worker visa lawyers by calling 800-242-2151 today.

An H-1B temporary worker visa is a “non-immigrant” visa that professionals can obtain to fill “specialty occupation” positions if approved by a qualified employer.  A “specialty occupation” is defined as requiring the theoretical and practical use of highly specialized skills or knowledge and requiring a bachelor’s degree, its equivalent, or a higher degree.

In addition to several specific requirements, in order to qualify for a H-1B temporary worker visa, prospective employees must have obtained a bachelor’s degree, higher degree, or foreign degree that is equivalent to a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. in the specialty.  Qualified employers include businesses with a bona fide job offer and the ability to pay the position’s wages.
