A H-1B visa is like a special pass that lets someone from another country come to the United States to work at a company for a few years.
Imagine you're playing a game where you can only have 60,000 players on the team at once. That's how many H-1B visas are given out each year, like tickets to join a special club called "work in America." Companies apply for these passes so they can bring smart people from other countries to help them with their jobs.
How It Works
Think of it like getting a permission slip from your teacher. If you want to go on a field trip, you need one. In this case, the H-1B visa is like that permission slip, but for adults who want to work in America instead of going on a field trip.
Each year, companies and schools send in their applications for these special passes. It's kind of like a lottery, not everyone gets picked, but those who do can come to the U. S. and work at their company or school for up to six years.
