The H-1B Visa
A work visa for speciality employees
What is the H-1B Visa?
The H-1B is a temporary work visa for employees in a specialized field. This six-year visa is primarily granted to people working in STEM fields or with special technical backgrounds but many other professions also qualify. Candidates must have a college degree (or many years of experience) related to their field of work and the employer must pay a prevailing wage.

How Many Letters Do You Need for an O-1 visa?
Blog
At Legalpad, we find testimonial letters most helpful for the original contributions and critical employment criteria, since they are somewhat subjective. You are only required to submit one letter for your O-1, which is called an Advisory Opinion. If you have solid documentation of how you meet the criteria, you may only need to include the Advisory Opinion. However, you may still have a strong case, but need an additional letter or two to support the documentation that you already have.
