ADN Radio explores the essential requirements that Chilean professionals need to meet when applying for work visas in the United States.

A real opportunity for Chilean professionals

According to ADN Radio, this special category opens exclusive slots for Chilean citizens, simplifying access to international opportunities. (adnradio.cl)

Main requirements to obtain the visa

To apply, it is necessary to meet clear conditions:

• Have a valid Chilean passport.
• Have an official job offer from a U.S. company with a valid address and TAX ID.
• Accredit academic training and professional experience related to the position.
• Demonstrate that there is no intention of permanent residence, as this visa is temporary.

Key differences with other alternatives

Unlike options such as the ESTA visa, the H-1B1 grants legal work status, providing security and stability to the professional and their employer. It also does not depend on a lottery like the traditional H-1B visa, making it a more predictable and accessible process.
