Employers must offer a job that is a specialty occupation requiring specific knowledge typically obtained from a bachelor’s degree or higher. They need to ensure the salary meets or exceeds the prevailing or actual wage for similar roles in the area. Moreover, they are obligated to file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the U.S. Department of Labor, certifying compliance with wage, working conditions, and employment terms.
Prospective H1B employees are required to have a bachelor’s degree or higher, or its foreign equivalent, in a discipline relevant to the specialty occupation. This emphasizes the necessity for advanced education or significant experience in the particular field. The relevancy and level of the degree are essential to verify the employee possesses the specialized knowledge and skills necessary for the job.
