Hello, My question is that who is eligible for filing a H 1 B visa? We have to hire an attorney or can we do it personally?

Usually the company that is sponsoring you, has their retained Law Firm handle it, or that firm subs it out to one of us Immigration Attorneys in . You raise a good question. For all other immigration related filings you are thinking of, contact an Immigration Attorney for guidance and direction. Frank Stanczak, Immigration Attorney

The H-1B visa must be filed by the employer. Usually, the employer's human resource or legal department signs off on the petition, which is usually prepared by the immigration attorney. Consult with an immigration attorney regarding the process. Many offer free assessments via Skype or over the phone. Best of luck.

Agents can not file ... only the employer, or the employer's lawyer (either in-house, or out-sourced). STAY AWAY from the NON-ATTORNEYS in HR .. in my experience the mess-up far to often.

The employer can file the petition and only the employer.
