  • H visas: An experienced San Francisco H-1 visa attorney can help you identify if you are eligible for an H work visa, such as an H-1B visa, H-1B1, H-2 or H-3. These are available for foreign business professionals with advanced degrees and are an appropriate visa option for professionals in high-technology and biotechnology industries.

Examples include scientists who have risen to the top of their field, Nobel Prize winners and other highly accomplished professionals who have received significant global recognition for their accomplishments.
