VIGO PSC
Professional

Our platform offers university-educated professionals the opportunity to create their profiles within our system. Our service consists of sharing these profiles with companies that are actively seeking to hire qualified personnel in specific fields.

​

Eligible profiles for H-1B and H-1B1 visas (for Chile) include highly skilled professionals such as engineers, scientists, administrators, healthcare workers, IT specialists, designers, financial analysts, educators, and more.

By subscribing for a two-year period with a one-time payment of $359, you will not only create your professional profile, but we also guarantee the active distribution of your profile to U.S. companies that have filed H-1B visa petitions in recent years for candidates from Latin America (Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay), as well as from Asia (India, Bangladesh, Philippines) and Europe (Spain, Poland, Romania)

​

It is important to understand that this payment is not for obtaining a visa; no company can legally offer a visa in exchange for money. You are paying for the creation and active distribution of your profile for two years, significantly increasing your visibility among potential U.S. employers.

​

When creating your profile, it is essential to attach your CV or professional résumé along with copies of your university degrees. These documents are crucial to strengthening your profile and improving your chances of being hired.

You can subscribe directly through our website or download our app, 'VIGO PSC', from the Google Play Store.

The app also allows you to receive updated news and relevant information about the job process and opportunities in the United States.

What is the H-1B Visa?

​

The H-1B visa is one of the most well-known and widely used visas in the United States for employing foreign workers in specialized occupations that require both theoretical and practical expertise.
Below, I explain how this visa works, including the requirements for applicants, employer obligations, and examples of the types of jobs commonly associated with it.

​

Requirements for Employees Seeking an H-1B Visa:

• Specialized Occupation: The applicant must be hired for a job that requires specialized knowledge, usually obtained through a university education. These fields often include technology, engineering, finance, science, medicine, and more.

• Educational Qualification: The candidate must hold at least a bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent. In certain cases, relevant work experience (typically three years of professional experience for each year of missing academic education) may substitute for a formal degree.

• Job Offer: There must be a formal offer of employment from a U.S. employer for a position that requires specialized qualifications.

​

Obligations of the Hiring Company:

• Labor Condition Application (LCA): The employer must obtain an approved Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the U.S. Department of Labor. This certifies that the wage offered to the foreign worker is equal to or greater than the prevailing wage for that occupation and region.

• Non-Discriminatory Conditions: The employment terms must be comparable to those offered to U.S. workers in similar positions.

• Notification: The employer must notify its existing workforce of its intention to hire an H-1B worker. This is usually done through a public posting at the workplace or notification to the relevant labor union.

​

Examples of Common Jobs Sponsored under the H-1B and H-1B1 Visas:

• Engineering: Many engineers — including civil, electrical, mechanical, and software engineers — use the H-1B visa to work on large-scale infrastructure projects or the development of advanced technologies in the United States.

• Information Technology (IT): IT professionals such as software developers, systems analysts, cybersecurity specialists, and network engineers are frequently employed under the H-1B visa due to the high demand for tech skills in the U.S. market.

• Sciences: Scientists in fields such as biotechnology, chemistry, physics, and environmental sciences often find opportunities at research labs, universities, and private sector companies in the U.S.

• Healthcare and Medicine: While medical doctors often require other visa categories due to licensing regulations, other healthcare professionals — such as biomedical researchers, pharmacists, and clinical laboratory scientists — can work under the H-1B visa, particularly in research and development.

• Finance and Economics: Economists, financial analysts, accountants, and auditors often use the H-1B visa to work in investment analysis, corporate finance, management consulting, and financial services industries.

• Architecture: Architects seeking to work in the design, planning, and supervision of building construction and infrastructure projects in the United States are eligible to use the H-1B visa to work legally in the country.
