Citizens of Singapore and Chile (H-1B1)

Chilean and Singaporean nationals can be hired by employers in H-1B1 status, which is similar to the H-1B visa but not subject to the H-1B cap. To obtain the H-1B1 visa, potential employees must apply at the US embassy in their home country and demonstrate nonimmigrant intent. Like the H-1B visa, the job offered must be a professional position requiring a university degree in a relevant field. The H-1B1 visa also requires a demonstration of intent to return home and ties to the home country.
