The H-1 Visa program was created by the Immigration Act of 1990 to allow employers in the US to hire workers from other countries on a temporary basis, for their specialized knowledge and/or higher education degree. According to a Pew Research Center report, during fiscal 2001 through 2015, almost 1.8 million H-1B visas were granted, of which more than half were awarded to Indian nationals.

The report added that H-1B visas have been capped at 65,000 a year since 2005. However, an additional 20,000 visas are given to foreigners who have graduated from a US-based academic institution.

To obtain an H1-B Visa, the applicant needs to first find an employer who is ready to sponsor them to fill in a speciality position.

The employer must file an I-129 petition with the USCIS, if you or your employer is subject to the annual cap. If accepted, the applicant needs to qualify an interview to obtain the H1-B visa.

Here are a few questions that are commonly asked during the interview but need to be answered appropriately.

Asking for Documents

  • Good Morning. How are you doing today?
  • Can I see your passport?
  • Do you have any old passports?
  • Can I see your Labor Condition Application (LCA)/H1B approval document (I-797)/no-immigrating petition application (I-129)?
