H-1B Visa requirements
The list of documents needed for H-1B Visas
NOTE: Not absolutely all of these documents are necessary. But the more documents we can gather from this list, the greater the chances of success of obtaining approval of the visa. The Documents about the company are necessary in order to prove that the company exists, that the company is capable of paying the market wage, and that the company requires a professional with at least a bachelor’s degree for the position in question. The smaller the company is, the more such documents are necessary to prove these items.

• Employee's diplomas and transcripts from all schools after high school.
• Letters certifying his work experience after high school. (The more letters the better)
