The H visa category allows U.S. employers to hire foreign nationals for temporary work in specialty occupations, agriculture, or non-agricultural labor. The most well-known is the H-1B visa, which is for professionals in fields requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher. The H visa program supports U.S. businesses by allowing them to access global talent when local labor is unavailable.

Eligibility Criteria

H visa types include:

• H-1B (Specialty Occupations): Requires a job offer in a role that demands a specialized degree, such as IT, engineering, or finance. The employer must file a petition and obtain labor condition approval.
• H-2A (Agricultural Workers): For seasonal or temporary agricultural work, available to nationals of designated countries.
• H-2B (Non-Agricultural Workers): For temporary non-agricultural roles like hospitality or construction.
• H-3 (Trainees): For individuals coming to the U.S. for training not available in their home country.

All H visas require employer sponsorship and proof of a temporary job need.
