Under the H1B visa category, organizations possessing a Federal Identification Number or IRS tax number may hire a foreign expert to work in a specialty occupation for up to six years. H1B is also recognized as a dual intent visa.
Although the H1B applicants aren’t beginning a business in the U.S., the sponsoring employer should offer a fact-based and well-developed business plan of their own to support and justify the grounds for hiring a foreign applicant.
