H-1B1 Visa: the fastest alternative for Chilean professionals who want to work in the U.S.

The H-1B1 Visa represents the most direct and fastest pathway for Chileans to work legally in the United States. The appearance on Radio ADN confirms that this topic is capturing increasing interest, and that having the support of a platform like Visability is key to transforming this opportunity into reality.

Why the H-1B1 Visa is an exclusive advantage for Chileans

The H-1B1 Visa was created within the framework of the free trade agreement between Chile and the United States, making it a unique opportunity for Chilean professionals. It allows working legally in the U.S. in specialized occupations, with an initial duration of one year and the possibility of indefinite renewal.

Unlike the traditional H-1B, which operates through a lottery (visa lottery), the H-1B1 does not have this requirement, making it much more accessible and predictable.

What you should know before applying for the H-1B1

If you're evaluating working in the U.S., there are some key points you should consider:

• You need to have a previous job offer from a U.S. company.
• It is focused on specialized occupations, such as engineering, information technology, finance, sciences, and more.
• Each application is for one year, but can be renewed indefinitely.
• The process is more agile than other visa alternatives.
