Being in Chicago, with the Board of Trade, we have represented many financial services providers and futures and commodities traders to obtain H-1B visas for them to work in the U.S. But the H-1B category does not permit independent contractors to have H-1B visas. You must be an employee of the sponsor and receive W-2's with the required tax withholdings.
