If you are a Citizen of Singapore, you may be able to qualify for the H-1B1 visa which is a kind of special "Singaporean H-1B". Under current law, 5,400 H-1B1s are set aside each year for nationals of Singapore, under the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. INA 214(g)(8)(A)(i).
The H-1B1's key advantage is that it allows Singaporean citizens to avoid the H-1B quota which often runs out quickly. See our websites section on H-1B1s for Singaporeans: H-1B1 Special "Singaporean H-1B".

H1B1 visa application
Hi!
I am a Singaporean currently residing in the US on an F2 visa. I will like to get a job in the US. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree. My questions are:
1. Can I apply for a H1B1 visa without going back to Singapore?
2. Do I have to look for an employer before applying for the H1B1 visa?
Thanks!
