What qualifications does the foreign worker need?

The demands the future US employee has to meet for the H-1B visa are quite high. The foreign worker has to meet one of the following criteria in order to be eligible for this visa category:

1. An American bachelor’s or higher academic degree
2. A foreign academic degree that must be determined to be the equivalent to an American bachelor’s degree or a higher degree
3. A combination of education, a specialized education and work experience that is determined to be the equivalent to an American bachelor’s degree. Usually, it will be necessary to have a completed professional education plus twelve years of work experience.

One of the most common methods to evaluate the US equivalency of a foreign qualification  is the “degree equivalency evaluation.” Several providers for these so-called work or credential evaluations exist within the US. Check www.jsilny.com for further information.
