H-1B Visa
(redirected from H-1B visas)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
H-1B Visa
A visa granting the holder permission to live and work the United States for three years, with the opportunity to renew once. H-1B visa holders must possess sufficient skills to perform the work for which they are hired (though there has been controversy about the level of skill required) and, if they quit or are fired, they must return home, find another job, or apply for a change in status. While the H1-B visa is not an immigrant visa, its holders may apply for green cards.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] While the agency and the state of New Hampshire do not track H-1B visas specifically, information obtained by NHBR from the U.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on April 8 that it has received enough H-1B applications to meet the congressionally mandated cap of 85,000 H-1B visas for fiscal year 2009.
After Congress voted in February to limit the use of these H-1B visas by financial firms getting taxpayer bailout money, The Washington Post called the provision (part of the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act) "antithetical to innovation and domestic prosperity.
