What are the requirements for an H-1B visa?

An H-1B visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows employers in Oregon to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. To qualify for an H-1B visa, the employer must meet certain requirements, including: • The employer must prove they have a need for a foreign worker and that the job requires special and unique skills that cannot be filled domestically. • The foreign worker must have the necessary education, experience, and/or training to do the job that is offered. • The wages that will be paid to the foreign worker must be equal to or more than the prevailing wage rate for that occupation. • The employer must demonstrate that they have the necessary funds to pay the foreign worker’s wages. • The foreign worker must demonstrate that they intend to return to their home country after the duration of their visa has expired. • The foreign worker must provide proof that they are not ineligible for an H-1B visa due to criminal convictions or other reasons. • The job must meet certain criteria in order to receive an H-1B visa, such as requiring at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific field or specialty. These are the requirements that must be met in order for an employer in Oregon to receive an H-1B visa for a foreign worker. It is important to note that the employer must also adhere to all applicable labor laws in Oregon.

Para solicitar una visa H-1B, el solicitante debe cumplir con una serie de requisitos. Primero, el solicitante debe tener un título profesional, estar clasificado como un profesional calificado o tener habilidades especializadas. En segundo lugar, la persona debe contar con una oferta de empleo de por lo menos un año, ya sea de un patrón en los Estados Unidos o de una empresa extranjera con una filial, subsidiaria o sucursal en los Estados Unidos. Además, el empleo debe ser para un trabajo calificado. Finalmente, el salario ofrecido debe ser igual o mayor al salario promedio para el puesto en la ubicación de la oficina del empleador. En Oregon, los trabajadores extranjeros aceptados para una visa H-1B deben, además, cumplir con los requisitos laborales locales. Esto incluye el cumplimiento de la Ley de Normas Mínimas de Empleo de Oregon, que prohíbe el trato injusto de los trabajadores extranjeros y los requisitos del salario mínimo. Esto significa que ningún trabajador extranjero puede recibir un salario por debajo del salario establecido en Oregon para el trabajo que desempeña.
