The H-1B is a U.S. nonimmigrant work visa classification that allows employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations requiring specialized knowledge, typically supported by a relevant bachelor's degree or equivalent. It is administered through employer-filed petitions and is commonly used for professional roles in fields such as technology, engineering, science, medicine, and education.
