What is an H-1B Sponsorship?
The H-1B visa is one of the most sought-after employment visas for many globally looking to work in the United States. It allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise, such as engineering, technology, finance, or healthcare. However, obtaining and maintaining an H-1B visa can be complex, with strict timelines, documentation requirements, and frequent scrutiny by U.S. immigration authorities.
At Jorge Munoz Law Firm, our experienced H-1B immigration lawyers have guided countless clients through handling the visa process, from initial sponsorship to extensions and transitions to permanent residency. Whether you are an employer seeking to sponsor talent or a foreign worker managing your visa status, our firm ensures your application is strategically prepared and fully compliant.
What Are Eligible H-1B Visa Jobs?
The H-1B visa allows foreign professionals to work in the U.S. for up to three years, with the option to extend up to a maximum of six years in most cases. The H-1B visa is employer-specific, which means your right to work in the U.S. depends on the employer sponsoring your visa.
Common eligible professions include:
- Information technology specialists and software developers
- Accountants, financial analysts, and economists
- Architects, engineers, and scientists
- University professors and healthcare professionals
While the H-1B program opens doors to skilled employment in the U.S., it also brings challenges, from H-1B sponsorship requirements to RFEs (Requests for Evidence) to extension delays.
How We Help with H-1B Applications and Extensions
Working with a knowledgeable H-1B attorney ensures your petition is supported with the strongest possible evidence from the start. We provide personalized, comprehensive legal services designed to help clients secure and maintain lawful employment in the U.S. through:
1. H-1B Sponsorship and Initial Filing
The first step is ensuring that both the employer and the employee meet all eligibility requirements. We assist U.S. employers with Labor Condition Applications (LCAs), Department of Labor compliance, and documentation to demonstrate that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation. For foreign workers, we help gather the academic credentials, work experience records, and other key materials required to show eligibility under H-1B rules.
2. H-1B Extension and Processing Time
If you’re already working in the U.S. under an H-1B visa, you’ll need to file for an H-1B extension before your current status expires. The H-1B extension processing time varies based on USCIS workload and service center, ranging from a few weeks to several months, but premium processing may be available for faster results. Our firm closely tracks the progress of your extension and ensures all filings are timely, complete, and properly supported to avoid unnecessary delays or denials.
3. Handling H-1B RFEs and Complications
Receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE) can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to derail your case. We can respond to H-1B RFEs strategically, using detailed evidence and strong legal arguments to address USCIS concerns. We also represent clients in complex cases, including an approved H-1B extension denied at airport, where Customs and Border Protection officers question visa validity at entry.
4. Transitioning from H-1B to Green Card
For many foreign professionals, the H-1B visa is the first step toward permanent residency. Our attorneys guide clients through the H-1B to green card process, including PERM labor certification, I-140 petitions, and adjustment of status. We help you plan a long-term immigration strategy that aligns with your career and life goals.
