H-1B visas

H-1B visas are issued by U.S.

H-1B recipients can only remain in the country legally for 60 days without being paid.

About three-quarters of H-1B visas go to people working in the technology industry, though the exact levels vary year by year.

H-1B visas, are tied to a specific location and employer who commits to paying the recipient a minimum salary. Furloughing recipients, reducing their wages, and in some cases allowing them to work from home violates visa requirements.

H-1B workers who are terminated have 60-days to find another job, transfer to a different visa or leave the country.

God is with them, everything will be alright.

O-1 visa, which is designated for individuals with extraordinary ability.
