The H-1B1 visa is a temporary work visa for citizens of Chile and Singapore who have a job offer in a specialty occupation in the United States. It's a variant of the H-1B visa, but with a key difference being the foreign national's intent to come to the US. H-1B1 visas are also known as FTA visas because they were established through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in 2003. Here's an overview of the H-1B1 visa:
Purpose: Allows qualified professionals from Chile and Singapore to temporarily live and work in the US.
Duration: Valid for one year, but can be extended.
Specialty occupations: Jobs that require theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge, such as engineering, medicine, and computer sciences.
Foreign national requirements: Must have a post-secondary degree of at least four years in their field. Cannot be self-employed or an independent contractor. Must demonstrate non-immigrant intent.
Limits: 1,400 visas available for Chilean nationals and 5,400 for Singaporean nationals annually.
