What is a H-1B1 visa ?
3.07K
The H-1B1 visa is a nonimmigrant work visa category that allows professionals from Chile and Singapore to work in the United States in specialty occupations. Eligible occupations require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as information technology, engineering, mathematics, and science. The H-1B1 visa is similar to the H-1B visa but is specifically reserved for citizens of these two countries. It was created as part of free trade agreements between the nations.
The length of stay for an H-1B1 visa is typically one year, with the possibility of extensions. Extensions can be granted in one-year increments as long as the visa holder continues to meet the eligibility requirements and maintains their employment in a specialty occupation.
The State Department maintains a cap on H-1B1 visas, limiting the number to 1,400 nationals of Chile and 5,400 nationals of Singapore.
