Eligible Countries: The H-1B1 visa is specifically available for citizens of Singapore and Chile.
Specialty Occupations: Similar to the regular H-1B visa, the H-1B1 visa is intended for individuals with specialized knowledge or expertise in a specific field, including professions such as information technology, engineering, mathematics, and other specialized areas.
Employer Sponsorship: As with the H-1B visa, the H-1B1 visa requires sponsorship by a U.S. employer. The employer must file a petition on behalf of the foreign worker.
Educational Requirement: The applicant must have at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in the relevant field.
Duration: H-1B1 visas are generally granted for an initial period of up to 12 months, with the possibility of extensions in one-year increments.
