Can engineers apply for the H-1B visa?

Engineers can apply for the H-1B visa if their roles fall under the specialty occupation. To apply for the US H-1B visa, applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree and an employment contract from a company or an employer who is based out in the U.S. An H-1B visa holder can legally stay and work in the country for three years and extend it for another three years.

 

The demand for engineers in the U.S. has been rising; about 186,000 job vaccines are expected to open by 2031. The average annual salary of an engineer in the U.S. is $107,455. There is a need for engineers across sectors such as:
