Undecided Question from yahoo answers
Can A Paralegal Get an H1B Visa?
If someone has a bachelors in Paralegal (first 2 years completed in Canada, last 2 years completed in the US), do they qualify for a H1B visa?
I looked at the occupations list for H1B visas, and it says “other occupations in law”, so that would include a Paralegal right? Im just not sure because i saw somewhere that it does not qualify.
Thanks!

Paralegals are not qualified at H1B Specialty Occupation. According to Department of Labor Profession Code, paralegal positions do not require Bachelors degree.
Also, it is cleared stated H1B Handbook if you have access to Law Library. Sorry.

Asked and answered. Paralegals are not required to have a bachelors degree, although many do. Paralegal certification programs are at most 2 years or an associates degree. To qualify for H1-b, the field must REQUIRE a bachelor’s degree as the minimum entry requirement to the field, and paralegal does not. It does not even require an associates degree altho some certification programs are, at most, associates degree programs.
How many times do you have to hear the same message to get it? No paralegal or legal assistant can qualify to apply for an H1-b – or any other category of employment visa!
Student visas require that students return to their home country. To do otherwise is a violation of the terms of your visa, which can render you ineligible for any future visa. If you are on a student visa, go home as soon as you finish school.

Здесь есть противоречия:
a) во многих университетах есть bachelors,
b) Не вижу смысла просто преподавать тогда, если нет права на практику (возможно, это только для residents, что врятли.) Нигде таких notes пока не встречал.
c) На H1 base:
Step 3: The Labor Condition Application
Three Digit Occupational Group Codes
110 Lawyers
111 Judges
119 Other Occupations in Law and Jurisprudence occupations In Religion and Theology
d) Разве paralegal к other Occupations in Law and Jurisprudence не относится? Если это Bachelor’s degree - что есть тот минимум.
Неужели здесь все-таки для residents? (хотя у меня такое чувство с начала было …)
Что Вы думаете насчет этого?
International student +Paralegal studies = not permitted H1B?
или Где мне найти точную информацию?
P.S. Может так борются с конкуренцией
