H Visas – Temporary Workers and Trainees
Non-Immigrant Visas
Temporary or nonimmigrant visas are available for people entering the United States for a limited period of time and for a specific purpose. In most cases, people applying for nonimmigrant visas must demonstrate that they intend to leave the United States when their visa expires and that they do not intend to immigrate. However, people who qualify for H-1B (professional worker), L-1 (intracompany transfers) visas, and possibly E-2 investor visas are exempted from this requirement.
Although nonimmigrant visas are considered temporary, many of them are available for a number of years. Unlike immigrant visas, most nonimmigrant visas are not subject to any numerical limits.
There are several types of temporary employment visas available in the H category. H-1 visa applicants must be entering to work in the U.S. temporarily, but unlike most other nonimmigrant visa categories, they do not have to prove intent to return to their home country and may intend to immigrate. H1 visa holders may change their status in the United States. They may also apply for permanent residence (a "green card") through their employer or through other means. To learn more about immigrating through employment, click here. H-2 and H-3 visa holders must prove to the INS that they do not intend to stay in the United States and will leave when their visa expires. H-4 visas are granted to dependents (spouses and children under 21) of H-1, H-2 or H-3 visa holders.
H-1B Visas
Introduction to the H-1B Visa
The H-1B visa is the best available US immigration work visa for many people seeking temporary work permit and permanent US immigration. This US immigration visa is available for up to three years and may be extended another three years for a total of six years. US immigration law also allows H-1B visa holders who have PERM Labor Certification applications pending for over 365 days or approved immigrant visa petitions to extend past the 6 years limit. There may also be opportunities to recapture time that the H-1B visa holder spent outside the United States.
Limited Number of H-1B Visas Available
Due to the popularity of this US immigration visa and the relatively small number of H-1B visa available, first time H-1B visa applicants must file their petitions on (not before) April 1, 2008. This deadline is critical because in 2007 all available visas we used up on the first day that one can apply, April 1st.
There are a maximum of 65,000 H-1B visas issued per year for all professionals, plus an additional 20,000 H1B visas for people who have a master's degree from a United States university. Nationals of Singapore and Chile draw from a separate cap of 6,800 (5,400 for Singapore and 1,400 for Chile).
There are exceptions to the H1B cap which include: (1) foreign workers employed at a university, affiliated non-profit entity, non-profit research organization, or government research organization; (2) foreign workers have obtained an H-1B within the last six years, even if it was not with the petitioning employer; and (3) Foreign doctors who obtained a Conrad 20 waiver of the J-1 two-year home residency requirement.
H-1B visa numbers are allocated by fiscal year. The Fiscal year begins October 1 of every year. However, US immigration regulations allow fling up to six months in advance of the start date, as early as April 1 of that same year. In 2007, the US immigration service received nearly 120,000 application on April 1, 2007 for October 1, 2007 start dates thereby exhausting the 65,000 H-1B cap in one day. Therefore, it is critical to begin the process of drafting an H-1B visa application early. It is also important to note that if filing for a change of status in the United States, the alien MUST maintain his or her status until October 1 (not April 1) to be eligible for a change of status. Sometimes this can be done with a tourist visa.
US Immigration Requirements for the H-1B Visa
The H-1B visa is available for employers sponsoring people to work only in specialized occupations or professions. This means that the job the person is being offered must be one in which employers normally require at least a US bachelor's degree to do the job. The US bachelor's degree requirement must be common in the industry for the position. For example, an offer to work in the United States as a secretary would not qualify one for an H-1B v isa, whereas an offer to work as a computer programmer would qualify for an H-1B visa. The difference is that most US employers do not require a bachelor's degree for a secretary position, but do require a bachelor's degree for a computer programmer. If it is determined that the job is in a specialty occupation or profession, the employer must prove that the person to whom the job is offered has the necessary education and/or experience. If licensure is required, the employee must also be able to qualify for a license in the state that he/she intends to work.
Another important requirement for the H-1 visa is that the employer must pay the employee at least the prevailing wage for the occupation. The prevailing wage is determined either by requesting it from the State Department of Labor where the employee will work or by using published wage surveys for the occupation in the geographic area of employment.
The process of obtaining an H-1B visa is highly regulated. Before an H-1B visa can be granted, the employer must file a Labor Condition Application ("LCA") with the Department of Labor, attesting that they are offering at least the actual or prevailing wage paid to similar employees. The employer is also required to keep certain payroll information in a "public file" as well as other documentation regarding how it arrived at the wage it is paying. Failure to keep such documentation could result in substantial fines against the employer as well as suspension of the employer's ability to recruit foreign workers. Accordingly, the US immigration attorney at RAPA Law sends these documents to the employer to ensure that they are in compliance with US immigration laws.
Intention to Immigrate Allowed for H-1B Visa Holders
One of the things that makes the H-1B visa so desirable is that, unlike many other temporary US immigration visas, it is a "dual intent" visa. This means that a visa will not be denied simply because an individual has intentions to permanently immigrate to the US or has even applied for permanent residency.
Spouse and Children of H-1B Visa Holders
A spouse or unmarried child (under 21) of an H-1B visa holder is entitled to an H-4 visa, and the same length of stay as the principal. This is true even if the H-1B visa holder marries after obtaining the H-1B visa. The spouse and dependent minor children cannot accept employment, but can attend school in the United States.
Change of Employers Allowed for H-1B Visa Holders
Under the AC21 "portability" provision, H-1B visa holders can begin working for a new employer as soon as the new employer files an H-1B visa petition for the worker. In the past, the H-1B visa holder had to wait for the petition and not on the ultimate approval.
Other Information about the H-1B Visa
Premium processing or expedited processing is available for H1B applicants.
The above information is not set forth in USCIS forms and is only a summary of regulatory requirements. Employers should seek legal advice from the US immigration attorney at RAPA Law before undertaking this process to protect themselves from liability.
H-2 Visas
H-2 visas are for temporary agricultural (H-2A) and temporary nonagricultural (H-2B) workers coming to the U.S. to fill an employer's temporary need. H-2 visa applicant must demonstrate non-immigrant intent. Employers wishing to bring in H-2 workers must file an application for labor certification to demonstrate that there are no U.S. citizens or permanent residents available for the position.
H-3 Visas
H-3 visas are for people coming to the U.S. to receive training which is not available in the applicant's home country. The training must not be for the purpose of obtaining a job in the United States. The training program must meet several conditions to be approved. H-3 visa applicants must demonstrate that they will not immigrate to the United States.
H-4 Visas
H-4 visas are available for spouses of H-1, H-2, H-3 visa holders. H-4 visa holders may not work in the United States.

Atlanta entrepreneur Ming Lee & Snoblife celebrated the kick off of the BET 2014 Hip Hop Awards and her birthday party last night at 595 North by hosting a private party and premiere screening of "Pink is the New Black" a short film inspired by Beyonce' and Jay Z's "On The Run". "Pink is the New Black" features Ming Lee as a heroine trying to take her hair care business to higher heights as she deals with intrigue and espionage. Surrounded by her agents known as the Snoblife they are all about moving hair pieces and making big money at the same time.
The night was fun as guests enjoyed tasty bites, drinks, and geared up for the BET 2014 Hip Hop Awards. Special Guests included The "Pink is the New Black" Models, Trinidad James, D. Woods, I am Perez (Blogger), and Atlanta's most influential taste makers.
Ming Lee is one of Atlanta's most prominent entrepreneurs; she has a posh salon in the heart of downtown Atlanta. She is known for her pretty salon, her pretty hairstyles, her drive to help women entrepreneurs, and now for making a hot new movie. I absolutely love when women can create the lives that they envision and deserve.
Check out the feature film below:
Check out the fun we had below.

Valentine's mini photo session review: Rochester MN
"Cuteness overload ahead. I seriously struggle to get good pictures of my son. As soon as he sees the camera come out he gets serious and won't smile. Catharine Bliss of Bliss Photography did amazing with Gryffyn and got his charming, adorable smile to come out. She also did it all in about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend her for all your photography needs, especially if you have a non-stop toddler who refuses to smile. Thank you so much for this Catharine! I can't stop looking at these. He really is going to be a heartbreaker some day...sigh..."
Winter Wonderland Maternity: Rochester, MN
I awoke to a text. Think we can meet today? I looked outside. It was the perfect snow globe day, like someone literally took the world and shook it out to reveal a winter wonderland complete with warm heavy snow falling. We discussed beforehand that Margo would love some photos in the snow for her maternity photos this time. I said it's tricky. I never know when the right conditions would appear. Well, when I saw the forecast the night before I was certain we would catch the magic. Thanks to Margo for making sure her Grandmothers shrug was mailed out ahead of time and for so beautifully enduring the beautiful winter snow.

Bliss studio landscaping project
I'm really excited to share a house project we had this year. Many of you have climbed our ridiculously steep driveway in order to reach the studio. From the minute we bought this house we knew we needed a better solution. Since the studio was the first priority, the front yard had to wait. Finally after a years wait we got our new front steps.
Heglands Creative Landscapes won our bid, not in price but in solutions offered. Ryan was so easy to work with. Right away when I proposed the need for steps he was showing me what he could do. He kept saying, lots of curves and soft lines. He won me over for sure. Other solutions proposed ended in boring grey cement steps straight up the front with no consideration for our home.
We finally booked him in January 2016 and he started work only a week after he proposed he would in August. He said the project would take 4-5 days, it ended up being 6 days but with crazy rains, the extra day was understandable.
He allowed me to offer my own ideas and paired those with his extensive knowledge of landscape and design. In the end, I am so happy with the result. It is way more than I imagined and it fits my work and my family perfectly. I now have a front yard I look forward to hanging out in and a much better solution for clients as well. Enjoy some project photos!
Rochester, MN Photography: Med City Doulas Breastfeeding event
I worked on a great collaboration with Med City doulas this month in celebration of World Breastfeeding week. They hosted this great event for moms to come and hang out together and of course take photos with their breastfeeding babies. We had a 5 day old, a 2.5 year old and even twins! Thank you to all the amazing moms for coming out to this event. I can't wait to do it again next year !
Rochester, MN Baby Photographer: Micah 13 mo
I stopped in to see all the cute things on sale today at A Child's Kingsdom. Such a hard choice, but I loved this outfit for Micah! I had to make a little fish as well for a couple photos. :)
Rochester, MN Maternity Photographer: Dr. Katie
For a while now, I've wanted to try a milk bath photoshoot. So when I suggested this to Dr. Katie of RAK Chiropractic, she was all in! I was a bit surprised that she was so willing, but that is just who she is. She trusts my vision and is willing to run with it! It's not everyday someone will say yes to taking a bath at your house! We had such a fun time since I really had no idea what I was doing and well, this was really a first for her as well. I love playing though and creating art.
And if you are wondering what is inside that magical bump? It's a boy! Congrats to Katie and Ryley and big brother Mo! I'm so excited to meet little Mylo. :)

Rochester, MN Breastfeeding session: Hannah
April isn't the prettiest month, but I fell in love with the beautiful neutral tones in this session for Hannah. To capture her with her second baby, 5 month old Simon, and some of their breastfeeding relationship. I love being able to provide outfits for these sessions if you need!
We also spent a little time in the studio with her oldest Norah to capture all the faces of being 3.
Even dad, Peder jumped in a photo
Minecraft birthday party DIY
My son Patrick turned 8 and we threw him a minecraft party. It was really simple to do and he loved it!
First off the details. I made "potion" with a tub of lime sherbet and a 2 liter bottle of sprite. Then I crafted a cake out of 2 different sheet cakes and 2 different types of rice crispie bars. It had a bridge, lava, a diamond mine, animals and grass. Really pretty simple with frosting and a little creativity. We covered our stairs with "lava" to keep kids from going upstairs. I used little aliens err.. "creepers" to hand out as a party favors. A nether portal was just a plastic table cloth over our entry. Foam swords were a big hit as came in handy for the TNT piñata (just a box with tissue paper around it) We had a diamond hunt (small plastic crystals from the party store) that we hid in the sandbox. The place cards also served as clues to help find the diamonds. We finished off the party with minecraft projected on the big tv, although the boys quickly lost interest in that and headed outside for their own minecraft adventure.
April Milestone special
Celebrate a birthday with this cake smash special in April only. Limited spots available. All edited digital files are included (around 15+) You provide the cake, I'll provide the clean up and props and outfits if needed. email email@example.com to snag one of these spots!
Rochester, MN Senior Photographer: Now booking
Yesterday you signed them up for kindergarten. Last week, you tossed the ball in the backyard for what seemed like hours. Just last month you bought their first tutu and watched them twirl around and around until they fell dizzy on the ground. Today, they are looking at colleges and trying to figure themselves out while you do your best to catch them on a quick text and keep up with their ever changing social media accounts. Tomorrow the house will be a little more quiet without them asking for the car keys.

Rochester, MN Twin Newborn Photographer: Gavin and Gadge
Gavin and Gadge are babies #7 and #8 for their mama. They are so identical that they arrived with bracelets on their ankles to keep them apart. We soon learned though that they aren't so alike after all. Today Gadge was the feisty one. Gavin partied all night so he was more than happy to snooze away for our session. At 6 weeks already, they were adorable little peanuts and a joy to play with.
