H-1B Specialty Occupation

A temporary employer-sponsored route for a specialty occupation that normally requires a specific professional degree or equivalent. The employer files the labour condition application and Form I-129. H-1B is not a green card, although it may bridge to a later PERM and employment-based immigrant case; cap and selection rules apply to many first-time cases.
