H-1B Visa

Take Your Career to the United States with a Specialized Job Offer

The H-1B visa is a temporary option for professionals who have received a job offer in the United States for a position that requires specialized knowledge.

At Canto Legal Immigration Attorneys, we help professionals and employers evaluate whether the position, the candidate’s education, and the candidate’s experience may meet the requirements for this category.

Job Offer

You Must Have a Sponsoring Employer

An H-1B petition must be filed by a company or organization in the United States that wants to hire you for a specific position.

Specialty Occupation

The Position Must Require Professional Knowledge

We analyze whether the job duties require a bachelor’s degree, an equivalent degree, or specialized preparation related to the field of work.

Professional Profile

Your Education Must Relate to the Position

We review your education, experience, licenses, and professional background to determine whether they support the requirements of the offered position.

Our Mission

Prepare a Clear Petition for Professionals and Employers

Every H-1B case must show that there is a legitimate job offer, a specialty occupation, and a qualified professional who can perform the role.

During the process, we work to:

  • Evaluate whether the position may qualify as a specialty occupation.
  • Review the candidate’s education, experience, and credentials.
  • Analyze the relationship between the profession and the job duties.
  • Organize documentation from the sponsoring employer.
  • Prepare a strategy based on the type of petition and applicable timeline.
  • Identify risks or gaps before filing the case.
