The H-1B1 advantage.
A fast, reliable visa pathway that gives you access to skilled Chilean construction professionals without the delays of more common visa categories.
A retention advantage for employers
Turnover is one of the most expensive problems in U.S. construction. Good people get recruited away mid-project, and a two-week notice can leave a job without its PM or superintendent. H-1B1 professionals come to the U.S. to work for your company specifically, and that changes the dynamic.
Tied to your sponsorship
H-1B1 status is linked to the sponsoring employer. Changing jobs requires another company to sponsor and file a new petition, so a move is a deliberate process, not a sudden exit.
Stable through the project
A recruiter's phone call alone won't pull your hire onto another job next week. You get continuity through the critical phases of your project instead of scrambling to backfill.
Committed from day one
These professionals relocate for the opportunity your company offers. That investment on both sides, backed by our onboarding support, builds loyalty that lasts beyond a single project.
Exclusive pathway
Available specifically for Chilean professionals under the U.S.-Chile trade agreement.
Fast processing
Typical turnaround of 3-4 weeks from filing.
Cost-effective
A more streamlined and affordable process than many alternative visa routes.
Renewable annually
No fixed lifetime limit, supporting long-term placements.
H-1B vs. H-1B1
Why Chilean professionals are easier to bring on.
| Standard H-1B | H-1B1 (Chile) | |
|---|---|---|
| Lottery | Yes, annual registration lottery | No lottery |
| When you can file | Tied to the yearly cycle | Any time of year |
| Who qualifies | Any nationality | Chilean citizens |
| Renewal | Limited total stay | Renewable annually |
| Changing employers | Can often start with a new employer once a new petition is filed | New employer must sponsor and file before any move |
Eligibility is reviewed case by case by our partner immigration attorney. H-1B1 roles generally require a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a related field.
