Book Description

Publication Date: April 23, 2007

This updated and expanded electronic book on CD-ROM has a comprehensive collection of federal documents and publications covering all aspects of the H-1B specialty and professional visa process and foreign labor certification, with information on criteria, the filing process, and forms. There is extensive material from the Labor Department and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). There is coverage of all programs: H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, D-1, and more. The H-1B program allows an employer to temporarily employ a foreign worker in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant basis in a specialty occupation or as a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or the equivalent in the specific specialty (e.g., sciences, medicine and health care, education, biotechnology, and business specialties, etc...). Current laws limit the number of foreign workers who may be issued a visa or otherwise be provided H-1B status to 65,000. Effective January 1, 2004, the H-1B1 program became available, allowing employers to request foreign workers in the U.S. in a specialty occupation from Chile and Singapore. Current laws limit the number of foreign workers who may be issued an H-1B1 visa to 6,800. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) provides national leadership and policy guidance to carry out the responsibilities of the Secretary of Labor under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, concerning foreign workers seeking admission to the United States for employment. OFLC provides labor certifications to employers seeking to bring foreign workers into the United States. Certification may be obtained in cases where it can be demonstrated that there are insufficient qualified U.S. workers available and willing to perform the work at wages that meet or exceed the prevailing wage paid for the occupation in the area of intended employm
