Potentially yes -- the student will have to complete a bachelor's degree, or have relevant work experience to the job for which the petition would be filed, and the employer will have to get labor certification for that position. The business owner should consult an immigration lawyer about the proposed job position, and the process of getting labor certification and hiring a H1B worker.
