The H-1B Temporary Worker visa allows foreign nationals to work in the United States in specialty occupations for a period of up to six (6) years. 申请H-1B签证身份时, bet36365体育 must establish that the employee will be working temporarily at the university in a specialized occupation. The law defines a specialty occupation as one that requires the theoretical and practical application of a highly specialized body of knowledge and for which attainment of a baccalaureate degree (or its equivalent) is a minimum 进入美国的职业. 基本上,专业职业是一个专业职位.
In general, 个人可以持有H-1B身份最多六(6)年, 可提供的增量不超过三(3)年. The employer may not obtain approval for an H-1B worker if the worker has already been present in the U.S. continuously in either the H-1B or L-1 categories for the preceding six (6) years. Periods of stay in H and L status are added together and BOTH count toward the six-year limit. 当外星人达到极限时, he/she must reside abroad for a period of one (1) year before he/she can reenter the U.S. in the H-1B category.
PLEASE NOTE: 由于涉及多个步骤和多个政府机构, 我们不能保证H-1B申请将在任何特定日期获得批准. 我们只能根据最近的趋势提供有关时间的估计. We recommend that the application be made as far in advance of the proposed start date as permitted by law. H-1B petitions may be filed up to six (6) months in advance of a proposed H-1B start date, but not earlier. H-1B申请过程可能会很耗时. 与常见的谣言相反,没有必要证明没有美国.S. workers available.
H-1B雇主变更(称为便携案例): 被批准的H-1B申请不能在雇主之间转让. If an applicant decides to change employers, he/she must begin the entire process again. However, an applicant who is already in H-1B status may begin working at the new employer as soon as the new H-1B application is received by USCIS. 工作开始不需要最终的USCIS批准, 而只是签发USCIS收货通知.
Dependents: H-1B签证持有人的家属持有H-4签证 not 被授权在任何情况下接受雇佣. H-4 visa holders may apply to change their visa status to H-1B if they find an employer who is willing to file a petition on their behalf.
整个过程可能需要3至5个月(subject to change),视乎政府及部门的回应时间而定. All services by the OIE office will be provided in a timely and expeditious manner. Without completion of the previous stage, it is impossible to proceed to the next stage.
USCIS has now instituted a system by which applications for H-1B status can be expedited if required. 这项服务的费用是1225美元.在正常的320美元的基础上再加100美元.00美元的申请费和/或500美元.00 Fraud Fee. Premium Processing can only be initiated by submitting current Form I-907 with the petition. 有几件事需要注意. 首先是加急服务 only covers the USCIS processing time. It does not provide any mechanism for expediting the Department of Labor Prevailing Wage Request, 或联邦劳工部LCA. An approved LCA is required before submission of the H-1B petition can be made to USCIS. Second, the expedite service only promises a response to the petition within 15 days. If, for some reason, USCIS决定需要更多的信息, “证据请求”(RFE)将构成他们的回应. 换句话说,不能保证在15天内获得批准——只是一个回应. If an RFE is generated, the 15 day clock begins again when USCIS receives the requested additional evidence. Even with these limitations, the expedite service can cut filing times considerably.
所有支票抬头必须是“国土安全部”. 每项费用必须在单独的支票上支付,雇主(bet36365体育) 谁负责支付所有费用. 可能被排除在费用支付要求之外的是加急处理费用. If 该部门推迟了对H-1B申请的处理, 该部门将负责支付费用. However, 如果这是H-1B成员的便利要求, 费用可以由H-1B签证持有人支付. The department must advise the OIE office of this exception in writing and stand behind the validity of the recipient's check.
Please mark "Premium Processing Requested" at the top of the H-1B Application packet in order to request this service.

Universities are exempt 从2000年10月17日起,取消每年的H-1B签证上限. There is no limit on the number of H-1B petitions the University of Nebraska at Kearney may submit. 这使得该大学成为“上限豁免请愿者”."
