H-1B Visas

Sobel & Erwin visa lawyers have the knowledge, dedication and experience to ensure proper processing of your H-1B visa application in Oklahoma. Corporations throughout the United States utilize the H1-B visa program to employ foreign, specialized workers in theoretical or technical occupations such as scientists, engineers, theologians and medical authorities. The H-1B visa is considered a non-immigrant visa and is sponsored by a specific employer with the intent of employing the applicant for a specified period of time. Most H-1B visas require the worker to have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in the area specified for the position. One exception to this rule is for foreign fashion models where the applicant is not required to have a bachelor’s degree, but he or she must be considered to have distinguished merit and ability. The applicant must remain employed by the sponsoring employer during their time in America. An H1-B visa can be for a maximum of six years duration with the option of extending the visa up to three years.

There are strict time limits for the taking of legal action in such cases, so do not hesitate to call us at 918-712-9888 for a consultation.
