Legal Services for H-1B Visa Applications

Global Esquire Law Firm offers expert legal assistance for employers and skilled professionals seeking to obtain H-1B visas to work in the United States. Our team is experienced in guiding clients through the complex H-1B application process, ensuring both employers and employees are well-prepared for each step.

The H-1B visa is designed for foreign professionals in specialized occupations, including:

  • STEM Fields: Scientists, engineers, IT professionals, and other technical roles requiring specialized knowledge.
  • Business and Finance: Positions in finance, accounting, and business management.
  • Healthcare and Medical Professionals: Doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals with specialized skills.
  • Education and Research: Professors, researchers, and educators in higher education institutions or research organizations.

To qualify, applicants must have a job offer from a U.S. employer, a relevant degree or equivalent experience, and the employer must prove that the role requires specialized knowledge.

Our team provides a full suite of services to help employers and employees navigate the H-1B visa process, from application preparation to compliance support:

  • Eligibility and Job Classification Assessment: We assess the role and applicant’s qualifications to confirm eligibility for the H-1B visa, ensuring the job meets the criteria for a “specialty occupation.”
  • Labor Condition Application (LCA) Filing: Our attorneys file the LCA with the Department of Labor, a requirement to ensure fair wages and working conditions for H-1B visa holders.
  • H-1B Petition Preparation and Filing: We prepare and submit Form I-129 and supporting documentation, ensuring a complete and accurate application.
  • Cap-Subject and Cap-Exempt Filing: For both regular cap and cap-exempt filings (e.g., institutions of higher education, nonprofits), we guide clients through the specific requirements.
  • Extension and Renewal Support: Our firm assists with H-1B renewals, extensions, and changes of employer, helping to maintain valid status for H-1B visa holders.
  • Our firm brings deep expertise in U.S. immigration and labor law, offering efficient and reliable support to both employers and employees. We are committed to making the H-1B application process as seamless as possible, helping employers attract global talent while ensuring compliance with U.S. regulations.

    • What is the H-1B visa cap?
      The H-1B visa cap limits the number of visas issued each year. Currently, there are 65,000 regular cap visas and an additional 20,000 for those with a U.S. master’s degree or higher.
    • Can H-1B visa holders apply for a green card?
      Yes, H-1B visa holders can pursue a green card, often through employment-based categories. We provide assistance with the green card process for H-1B visa holders.
    • How long is the H-1B visa valid?
      The H-1B visa is initially valid for three years, with the possibility of extensions up to a maximum of six years.
    • What happens if the H-1B visa cap is reached?
      If the cap is reached, the USCIS conducts a lottery to select applicants. Cap-exempt employers are not subject to this limit and can file H-1B applications at any time.
