Published on April 10, 2025


The interview on La Metro highlights that the H-1B1 visa is more than a curiosity: it's a concrete pathway for Chilean professionals to develop their careers in the United States. With guidance like Visability's and a structured approach, the process can be much less intimidating and very effective.


What's worth knowing about the La Metro interview

In La Metro's "Chile al Hombro" program, Pablo Navarrete, CEO of Visability, explained how the company has managed to support numerous Chilean professionals to obtain the H‑1B1 Visa, facilitating legal access to job opportunities in the United States. This appearance highlights the relevance of specialized advice in technical migration processes like this one.


Why is the H-1B1 Visa a great alternative for Chileans?

The H‑1B1 constitutes an exclusive work visa category for citizens of Chile and Singapore, created under free trade agreements with the U.S. It allows working in specialized occupations (such as technology, engineering, and sciences), has an initial duration of one renewable year, and does not require the applicant to go through a lottery as in the case of the traditional H‑1B visa.


Keys to successfully apply for the H-1B1

During the interview, several essential aspects were highlighted for those seeking to apply:

    • Have a clear job offer from the U.S.
    • Ensure that the position corresponds to a specialized occupation.
    • Meet and prepare all necessary documents, including approval of the Labor Condition Application (LCA).

How does Visability help make it simpler?

Visability has developed an effective digital platform that offers:

    1. Personalized evaluation of your profile.
    2. Step-by-step guidance in document preparation.
    3. Support in obtaining the LCA and in the consular interview.
    4. "Expedite" service to accelerate the process according to the applicant's urgency.

This clear structure and the use of integrated technology have allowed Visability to successfully manage more than 100 H-1B1 visas since its launch in 2019.
