As owner of an immigration law office in Princeton Junction, New Jersey, Gary Jodha draws on personal experience as an immigrant/naturalized U.S. Citzen. Gary Jodha helps clients to secure a number of work permits and visas, including the H-1B visa.
Available to foreign nationals in specialty positions, the H-1B visa requires an employer to petition to hire a qualifying employee. The employer must prove that the employee would be working in a specialized occupation, typically by demonstrating that the job requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent. This entails providing evidence that such training is typically required for the position either industry-wide or by the employer, though the employer may instead submit proof that the complexity of the position requires a higher education.
As evidence of the same, an employer may submit job postings or position assignments that state minimum educational requirements. Affidavits from experts may also attest to these requirements. Furthermore, the employer must prove that the employee's degree is related to the job, either by explanation of duties or by written evidence of the relevance of the employee's background. As an alternative, the employee can have credentials evaluated to demonstrate that the employee has the training or work experience that substitutes for college-level formal education.
