H-1b visa doesn't require a technical background. I used to have a h1b visa and I studies economics and worked for a real estate firm. I still have friends in the US who work under H1b with their specialty being finance, accounting, or even language teaching.
Most H1b visa holders are probably from science/engineering, but that's hardly a requirement.
My understanding is quite clear. The definition was quoted from the requirements on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services site. It seems you need to take a look at the requirements.
Quote:
An H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as in architecture, engineering, mathematics, science, and medicine.
It does require a technical or theoretical expertise in a specialized field. Finance, Accounting and Language all fit such requirements. It also doesn't say they have to be specifically from a science/engineering field. It clearly said technical or theoretical expertise

"Indeed."
I'm afraid that cuts both ways. The Irish government in Dublin lobbied the US Senate to attach a rider to its last Comprehensive Immigration Bill (which failed in 2013) that would have permitted thousands of young Irish to immigrate to, and seek employment in, the US. Ireland is a member of the EU, a very wealthy economic bloc that (last I checked) is not a third-world country and certainly doesn't need such economic help from outside the rich European Union.
Is the US part of the EU or Commonwealth? No, why should it be given preference?
Because the UK has far more in common with, and is far more connected to the US than the vast majority of 'Commonwealth' countries. Also, not many 'Commonwealth' countries consider it a substantive, relevant or useful grouping of nations.

This thread is about the USA and the UK. The Republic of Ireland is a foreign country and not part of the UK. Lobbying of the USA by the Dublin Government is, therefore, totally irrelevant to this thread.

It's not a foreign country. After visiting America four times, I've seen enough to come to the conclusion that the UK is only similar to America culturally.
The way Americans live on a daily basis is very different to a Brit; except for New York or Washington, Americans do not typically use public transport, food portions are also much larger, the UK does not particularly have 24/7 consumerism, for example, look at Sunday opening hours in England (10-4) - VERY different to America where large 2,000,000 sq feet malls are open from 10-9.
The British media are always harping on about this special relationship that exists between the UK (England) and America which may be the case for leaders but from observation this does not extend to the people of America. It is a one sided relationship from what I can see. I also notice that the UK is rarely if ever mentioned in American news but America is frequently mentioned in UK news.
I actually think the Scottish or Irish are more akin to Americans due to their openness and a lack of reservedness. Americans are very open and always ready to help, the same cannot be said about the English who keep to themselves in general.
Don't get me wrong, the British isles as a whole is very similar culturally to Americans, there is no denying that - I just think that the similarities are exaggerated. There is constant talk of this 'special' relationship which I think is very one sided, I never see Americans talking about Britain or really taking much of an interest in Britain, their country is too big to care about anywhere outside.
