We are pleased to share a recent success story from The Visa Code involving the approval of an H-1B1 visa for a Singaporean professional. This case highlights the value of strategic guidance and the potential of one of the most underutilized U.S. work visa categories.

Background

The applicant, a Singaporean national, approached us after a sudden job loss, seeking a viable pathway to continue his professional journey in the United States. He was unfamiliar with the H-1B1 visa, a category specifically available to citizens of Singapore and Chile under the U.S. Free Trade Agreements with those countries.

Our team provided a full overview of the H-1B1 category and tailored a plan of action to fit his profile, focusing on the benefits and streamlined nature of this visa route.



Why the H-1B1 Visa?

The H-1B1 is a specialized nonimmigrant work visa category, similar to the H-1B but with key advantages:

  • No lottery requirement

  • No prior USCIS petition needed

  • Only a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) is required

  • Typically faster processing via direct consular filing



Our Role in the Process

Our legal team worked closely with the client and employer to ensure compliance with all requirements:

  • Verified credentials and education equivalency

  • Evaluated the specialty occupation criteria of the job offer

  • Ensured the LCA covered all potential work locations, including remote arrangements

  • Prepared the client thoroughly for the visa interview and port-of-entry procedures



The Outcome

Thanks to detailed planning and proactive communication, the client’s H-1B1 visa was approved without delay at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore. He later entered the United States smoothly and has since resumed his professional career.

We are grateful to the client for permitting us to share his experience and hope this story encourages more Singaporean and Chilean professionals to explore this highly efficient visa option.
