H-1B1 – Specialty Occupation (Chile & Singapore) (Back)

• Effective January 1, 2004, the H-1B1 program became available, allowing employers to request foreign workers to come to the
   United States   in a specialty occupation from Chile and Singapore. Current laws limit the number of foreign workers who may be issued an
   H-1B1 visa to 6,800.

H-1B1 visa holders may bring their spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 with them on H-4 visas. Dependents may not work while in H-4 status.
