The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign workers to come to the United States to work in specialty occupations. The H-1B visa is a popular visa for foreign workers in fields such as computer science, engineering, and medicine. The H-1B visa is also a dual intent visa, which means that H-1B visa holders can apply for a green card while they are in the United States.
