The H-1B1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa available to citizens of Chile and Singapore. Under the U.S.-Chile and U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreements, employers in the United States may employ individuals in specialty occupations, for a specified period of time. The number of H-1B1 visas can’t exceed 1,400 for Chile, or 5,400 for Singapore in any given year, but this limit is set aside from the overall H-1B cap. The yearly cap of H-1B1 visas, as of the posting of this blog post, has never been filled. If you are a Chilean or Singaporean national who has been offered a specialized occupation in the United States, please read on, then contact an experienced work authorization permit lawyer in Milwaukee, WI to learn what you should know about an H-1B1 visa in Wisconsin.
