Based in Barrington, New Jersey, Bright Lights USA is a longtime manufacturer and distributor of defense components for the United States military. Committed to making sure his company and others are able to recruit top talent worldwide, Bright Lights USA CEO Daniel Farber recently delivered an address about the benefits of the H1B Visa program at a gathering in Washington, DC.
In relation to other work visa programs, the H1B is the one most commonly selected by foreign individuals looking to gain employment in the United States. One of the major reasons it has been so popular over the years is its easier eligibility requirements as compared to other visa programs. H1B applicants need only have a bachelor’s degree and a relevant offer of employment from a company in the United States to qualify, while other visa programs require graduate-level education and only apply to managerial roles.
The H1B is also a flexible visa that can be taken from one job to another while it is in effect. These visas are granted in three-year increments and are typically easy to extend. It’s also open to individuals from any country. With job growth in STEM fields such as computer engineering rapidly outpacing the rate of talent produced within the US, the H1B visa remains one of the most powerful tools for companies looking to maximize their potential.
