Ask us about the H-1B1 visa

Questions? Answers.

Can a Kosovo citizen get an H-1B1 visa?

No. H-1B1 is only for citizens of Chile or Singapore who work in a specialty occupation.5

Does the H-1B1 visa need a petition?

No. The employer files no petition with USCIS; it files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, and you bring a certified copy of it to the interview.5,4,17

Can my spouse and children come with me on an H-1B1?

Yes. They can come on H-4 visas and may study, but they may not work unless USCIS approves it.4

How much does the H-1B1 visa cost in Kosovo?

$205 to the U.S. Department of State, and €10 to DHL to bring your passport home.2,3

How do I pay the visa fee in Kosovo?

Online or at VFS. Online with a debit or credit card, or in cash at the VFS Visa Application Center in Pristina, Lidhja e Prizrenit St., No. 20, Tophane.6,7

Is the fee refunded if the visa is refused?

No. The visa application fee is non-refundable.2

How long is the wait for the interview for a U.S. visa for free trade professionals (H-1B1) in Pristina?

In 15 days. The published wait for petition-based (H, L, O, P, Q) interviews in Pristina, when last updated on October 21, 2026.16

Can I apply in Skopje or Tirana instead?

Generally no. Apply at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country of your nationality or where you live, and be able to show you live there if that is why you apply there. Elsewhere it may be more difficult to qualify, and the fee is not refunded or transferred.18

How do I check the status of my U.S. visa application?

On the State Department’s Visa Status Check, at ceac.state.gov. Choose your visa type, then enter your passport number and the first five letters of your surname.19

Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?

No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify.20

My visa was refused. When can I apply again?

You may reapply. After a refusal under section 214(b), you submit a new application, pay the fee again, and must be able to show significant changes in your circumstances since your last application.21

How long can I stay in the United States?

The border officer decides when you enter. The admitted-until date on your I-94 or admission stamp shows how long you may stay. Not the visa’s expiration date.22
