Possible country route: H-1B / other employer-petition routes. H-1B normally starts with an employer petition for a qualifying specialty occupation. Cap-subject cases also have registration and selection requirements; other routes differ.

Registration, petition and consular stages differ. Selection is not guaranteed and premium petition processing is not an end-to-end visa timeline.

What to check before applying
  1. Confirm the intended route. Ask whether the employer will petition and whether the position is cap-exempt.
  2. Check petition requirements. Use USCIS instructions for the applicable category and cap process.
  3. Coordinate consular and entry steps. An approved petition and a work-authorised start date are different milestones.

About the team
Members of the Partner Solutions Architecture (PSA) team are responsible for providing technical guidance to Stripe’s key strategic partners. Our goal is to drive growth through co-solutioning, education, and enablement with our partner organization. PSAs are critical technical liaisons to Stripe Partner Development Managers and partners.

A Partner Solutions Architect is someone who is intellectually curious, motivated to win, open, and entrepreneurial.
