Why Do H-1B Visa Applications Get Rejected?

Even highly qualified professionals encounter hurdles during the H-1B Visa process. Common issues include:

1. Lottery Challenges: The annual cap means many applications don’t even get processed.
2. Specialty Occupation Disputes: Demonstrating that your role requires specialized knowledge can be tricky.
3. Incomplete or Inconsistent Documentation: Errors in educational or work records can lead to delays or denials.
4. Labor Condition Application (LCA) Errors: Employers must comply with Department of Labor regulations, which can be complex.

These challenges require a strategic approach to ensure your application meets all requirements.

How Larhdel Law Simplifies the H-1B Visa Process

Our team of experienced immigration attorneys specializes in resolving these common challenges. Here’s how we can assist:

1. Mastering the Lottery System

   With only 85,000 H-1B Visas available each year, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders, timing is critical. We ensure your application is submitted promptly and accurately, maximizing your chances of selection.

   Not every job qualifies as a specialty occupation. We work with your employer to craft detailed job descriptions that emphasize the advanced knowledge and skills required for the role.

3. Comprehensive Document Preparation

   From educational credentials to work experience letters, we ensure every document aligns with visa requirements.

4. Employer Support for LCA Compliance

   We guide employers through the Labor Condition Application process to avoid errors and meet Department of Labor standards.

The H-1B Visa: Your Gateway to Professional Success

The H-1B Visa is designed for professionals in specialized fields, offering benefits such as:

• Dual Intent Flexibility: Pursue permanent residency without jeopardizing your visa status.
• Family Inclusion: Dependents can join you on H-4 visas, with spouses eligible for work authorization under certain conditions.
• Career Advancement: Access opportunities in industries such as IT, engineering, healthcare, finance, and academia.

Who Qualifies for the H-1B Visa?

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Specialty Occupation Requirement: The role must require advanced knowledge, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
• Educational or Professional Credentials: Your qualifications must align with the job’s requirements.
• Valid Job Offer: A U.S. employer must sponsor your visa and file the necessary petitions.

Step-by-Step Guide to Securing Your H-1B Visa

1. Step 1: Secure a Job Offer and Employer Sponsorship

   The process begins with a formal job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor your H-1B Visa.

2. Step 2: File the Labor Condition Application (LCA)

   Your employer submits an LCA to the Department of Labor, ensuring compliance with wage and workplace standards.

3. Step 3: Submit Form I-129

   Once the LCA is approved, the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. This petition must include:

   • The job offer letter.
   • Proof of the employer’s ability to pay the prevailing wage.
   • Evidence of your educational and professional qualifications.
4. Step 4: Complete the DS-160 Form

   After petition approval, you complete the DS-160 Nonimmigrant Visa Application online, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

5. Step 5: Schedule the Visa Interview

   Book an appointment at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Be prepared to answer questions about your role, qualifications, and employer.

6. Step 6: Gather Supporting Documents

   Bring the following to your interview:

   • Valid passport.
   • Form I-797 Approval Notice.
   • Degree certificates, academic transcripts, and work experience letters.
7. Step 7: Attend the Interview and Await a Decision

   Once your visa is approved, you’ll receive a stamp in your passport, enabling you to begin your U.S. employment.
