H-1B Temporary Workers

The H-1B Visa is complex, not all UC Merced affiliates are eligible for sponsorship, and preparation requires input from the scholar and the host department. In this section, there are instructions, a flow chart, general overview and detailed H-1B information for the foreign nationals at or coming to UC Merced on an H-1B Visa.

The H-1B Visa application process must start with the hiring department. The instructions and resources provided here should only be used by scholars after the hiring department and the OIA have confirmed that UC Merced will sponsor the H-1B. You can always contact OIA if you have questions about this process.
