Work In USA with H1B Visa, Especially for IT Professionals

Info about H1b visa to work in USA, Especially for IT professional,

Every week I am getting lots of email about H1b visa. How can we apply for this visa? I also have seen one of Bangladeshi newspaper published wrong information about H-1b visa and a website linked in it, asking money for providing the information. Through I am replying individually, but I thought, I will write something details about this and share with you so that you can get informed and benefited.

H1b visa can be a very good opportunity for Bangladeshi IT (Computer engineer) talents to work in USA. Lots of Indian (south Indian) and Chines professionals are coming to USA with this visa every year. So it could be a good job source also for Bangladeshi High skilled computer engineers. As per my knowledge, there are lots of world qualities IT professional in Bangladesh and I believe Bangladeshi’s are not less genius than others.  

The US H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as in Computer engineering, architecture, others engineering, mathematics, science, and medicine. Under the visa a US company can employ a foreign worker for up to six years at least. (3 years + 3 years extension). Then if there are not enough employees like you in US market then you can apply for Green Card.

H1B visa applications can only be filed by the US employer (not the individual/beneficiary). Foreign Nationals MUST first obtain an H1B sponsorship job (sponsored employment position) with a US employer who will hire them and file for their H1B visa. (Now easy to find out but you have to more qualify for that)

Current immigration law allows for a total of 85,000 new H-1B visas to be made available each government fiscal year. This number includes 65,000 new H-1B visas issued for overseas workers in professional or specialty occupation positions, and an additional 20,000 visas available for those with an advanced degree from a US academic institution. Once the visa cap has been reached, USCIS will stop accepting H-1B petitions for this year. If more application applied within a time frame then a lottery will happen for selecting 65,000 candidates and 20000 candidates.

H-1B visa season starts on April 1st of every year. Usually USCIS starts accepting H-1B visa petitions for next fiscal year starting from April 1st of the current year.

Difference Between Table Name With Quotation mark and Without Quotation mark (")

Difference Between Table Name test and "test" 

Look at the below table. There is tow table named test and "test". You can create same name two table in a database and schema. But why ? What is the difference  ? 

Actually Oracle database is case sensitive in this case. But this issue is little deferent. Oracle database take as smaller latter when table name with Quotation mark ("test") .  On the other hand without Quotation mark table name Oracle database take as capital letter. 

When we do a query like (select * from test) Oracle database take the table name in capital letter and do the query.  So there is a case sensitive issue occurred. 

So Finally, good practice is creating table without Quotation mark. If you create table with Quotation mark then every time you have to write Quotation mark when you will do query.   

test	“test”
create table test ( id number, name varchar2(20), address varchar2(500) )	create table "test" ( id number, name varchar2(20), address varchar2(500) )
insert into test values (1,'Qaium','Address') ;	insert into "test" values (1,'Halim','Motron') ;
select * from test ;	select * from "test" ;
