H-1B visa: This is a non-immigrant visa category that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or higher. The H-1B visa is typically granted for an initial period of three years, which can be extended up to a maximum of six years.
H-1B1 visa: This is a subcategory of the H-1B visa that is specifically designed for nationals of Chile and Singapore. The H-1B1 visa allows eligible Chilean and Singaporean professionals to work in the U.S. for up to 18 months, with the possibility of extensions.
Both H-1B and H-1B1 visas are highly competitive, and there are specific requirements and criteria that must be met to qualify for these visas. It is important to consult with an immigration attorney or a qualified immigration professional for guidance and assistance in navigating the visa application process.
