Find answers to your legal question.





To get US H1b visa, is it necessary to convince the consular that you will return to your original country?

I am a general physician and in December I have an interview to get my H1b Visa. For nonimmigrant visas( such as J1, F1) it is usually necessary to prove that you will return to your original country.I want to know is it correct for H1b visa?

No, the H1B visa is one category of non-immigrant visa that does not require you to demonstrate that you are not an intending immigrant.

Nope. An H1B visa is permission to work for as long as the employer who sponsored you needs your services. During which time you will be able to apply for permanent residency. That means staying for good.**

As far as I know...No. That is for tourist visa.

In fact, H1b can be your gateway to getting a green card.

no, I don't think so. You only have to know what you are doing in your job if I remember correctly. Mine did last less than five minutes and all
I remember is being asked me what why job would be. I tried to explain it in lay terms and I got the impression all they wanted to hear is that one needed a PhD to do the job (or presumably any advanced degree).

H1-b is a temporary non-immigrant visa. It is valid for a maximum of 3 years, and you are allowed one extension for a maximum of 3 years. That means you can stay at most 6 years on an H1-b visa, then you have to go home. So yes, you had better be able to prove that you do intend to go home.

There is a provision whereby an employer can keep you beyond the 6 years by sponsoring a green card for you, but they have to guarantee your job or support for 10 years, and that is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. Few companies can prove they are likely to continue in business and are willing and able to guarantee that they will employ/support you for 10 more years. You cannot count on this, and you do need to plan to return home.
