H1B Visa Insurance Plans

 

The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration & Nationality Act. It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.

The regulations define a “specialty occupation” as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor[1] including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent as a minimum[2] (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability".)[3] Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field. H-1B work-authorization is strictly limited to employment by the sponsoring employer. (Excerpt taken from Wikipedia)

As part of your H1B visa, obtaining adequate health insurance for your time in the USA is highly important. Most of the time you should receive some coverage through your employer, but there can be some instances where this is not enough, or it may not cover your dependants that you are bringing with you. For this reason, we can provide you with a variety of H1B Visa Insurance Plans which have some great benfits.
