- H1B alien's eligibility
In order to qualify for an H1B visa, the alien must demonstrate that s/he is
able to work in the speciality occupation for which s/he is being hired by
the sponsoring employer. This can be demonstrated by:
Possession of a relevant US college degree;
Possession of a non-US college degree (and, generally, 3 years' relevant
high-level work experience) independently evaluated as being equivalent to a
relevant US college degree;
Possession of at least 12 years' high-level work experience, independently
evaluated as being equivalent to a US college degree; or
Possession of any relevant State or Federal license that may be required in
order to practice in a particular profession.
Note: If there is a requirement for a State or Federal license in order to
practice any 'speciality occupation', then the alien must generally possess
such a license in order to qualify for an H1B visa. For example, doctors,
lawyers, accountants and similar professionals must generally have passed
the relevant state licensing examination and be in all other respects
qualified to practice in the State of intended employment.
