Do you have a college degree? The H-1B is the best type of work visa for you to obtain. However, they are used up very quickly each year. If you are not going to have an attorney help you, you should use this book to get a clear and concise example of what is needed. There are many parts to a successful H-1B and this book makes it much easier to put it all together for submission before the deadline.
There are many parts of the H-1B to properly get it issued. There is the LCA or Labor Condition Application as well as the cover letter, H-1B exhibits, working documents, supporting letter from the employer among other items. It is very important to get the H-1B petition properly filed and all the necessary employment fees paid due to the fact that it is so limited in the numerical issuance of the visas. There are 65,000 issued per year, but several thousand do automatically go for Chile and Singapore, decreasing the numbers. Then the lottery system usually has nearly 300,000 filed for the remainder. Thus, your chances of getting chosen for the H-1B are about 25%. That is why this sample petition is so valuable. It gives you a good roadmap to proceed forward to get it filed.
If you have a Masters degree, there is an additional 20,000 H-1B's issued for that particular level of education.

Such examples are marketing analysts, computer programmers, engineers, etc. There are many options and a creative H-1B can be put through.
There are many available positions for the H-1B. However, you have to keep in mind that the H-1B position has to match the college degree. For example, you cannot be an accountant if you have an engineering degree. The next important factor to consider is that the job itself has to normally require a college degree or the H-1B will not be issued. For example, US Immigration does not consider that a Registered Nurse requires a college degree, and therefore, even though most of the nurses have such a degree, they will not be able to get an H-1B.
This is the most popular work visa and it actually only opens up once per year around the end of March for the start date of the following October. Note that if you have already been on H-1B, that you do not have to go through the H-entrepreneurial way to obtain the Green Card without needing tons of money and without waiting years1B lottery system for
