Sponsor specialized talent with the H-1B visa.
The H-1B lets U.S. employers hire professionals in specialty occupations. We manage it end-to-end — registration, the labor condition application, the petition, and any requests for evidence.

A petition built to answer the questions.
H-1B adjudication has grown more demanding. We build filings that connect the role, the degree, and the employer obligations cleanly.
Role and degree, connected
The position must require at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific field, and the candidate must hold it. We document the link between the job duties and the degree so it withstands scrutiny.
Timing your filing
Most new H-1Bs are subject to an annual cap and electronic registration lottery. We track the registration window and identify cap-exempt options — such as universities and affiliated nonprofits — where they apply.
Anticipating the pushback
Requests for evidence are common on specialty-occupation and wage-level issues. We build the initial petition to pre-empt them, and respond decisively when they come.

What employers and professionals ask first.
What is a specialty occupation?
A role that requires the theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge and, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a specific field directly related to the position.
How does the H-1B cap and lottery work?
Most new H-1B petitions are subject to an annual numerical cap. Employers first submit an electronic registration; if more registrations are received than visas available, USCIS runs a lottery and only selected registrations may file full petitions.
Are any employers exempt from the cap?
Yes. Higher-education institutions, affiliated nonprofits, and nonprofit or governmental research organizations are generally cap-exempt and can file H-1Bs year-round.
What about the $100,000 H-1B fee I read about?
In June 2026 a federal court vacated the $100,000 fee on new H-1B petitions, but a different court upheld it and an appeal is expected, so the issue is unsettled. We track it closely and advise based on the current state of the law for your filing.
Does the H-1B allow a path to a green card?
Yes. The H-1B is a “dual intent” visa, meaning you can pursue permanent residence while holding it — a common path for sponsored professionals.
