Massachusetts H1B Temporary Visa Lawyers

Business immigration matters must be addressed and are crucial to your employment. Our lawyers at Murray & Toomey, LLP understand that in order for you be successful in your employment, the proper employment immigration visas and documentation must be obtained.

The U.S. government attempted to address a labor shortage by beginning the H1B visa program. Since there are a limited amount of H1B visas available each year, the competition for these types of visas is very intense. An incomplete or insufficient H1B visa application will not be accepted and must be properly resubmitted. Unfortunately, by the time the new application is submitted, the H1B quota may be closed for the year.

Our firm can effectively explain the process for seeking an H1B visa and convey the criteria one must meet to be considered for the visa, including:

• The applicant must have temporary employment in a specific occupation or field of expertise
• The applicant must possess a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent and be offered a position that has a direct association to such degree
• The applicant must be paid current, industry-standard wage

H1B visas are granted for 3 years and may be extended for another 3 years. There is the possibility that the visa will be additionally extended, though this is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
