What Options Do I Have for Employment-Based Immigration?

A prospective employer may be looking for just the kind of skill you offer, but you must gain legal admittance into the country to legally work and live in the United States. Depending on the kind of work you plan to do, you may need a temporary or permanent work visa.

Temporary Business Visas

Some of the common temporary work visas we help clients receive are:

• B-1, which allows visitors to meet for business reasons on U.S. soil
• E-1 and E-2, which includes matters of trading and investing in the U.S.
• H-1B which allows a foreign national to retain a professional position in a company
• H-2A and H-2B, which allow seasonal workers to enter the country
• L-1A and L-1B for foreign nationals who enter the U.S. to fill a managerial position or a position where specialized knowledge is required
• O and P for individuals with a considerable amount of global recognition for excellence in their fields, such as actors, athletes, or extraordinary ability in the fields of science, arts, business, and education.
• R-1, which allows religious foreign workers to enter the United States

Permanent Business Visas

Permanent business visas allow skilled workers to enter and remain in the country because of their extraordinary talents or ability to fill positions that would be difficult to fill in the U.S. labor market.

Some methods of achieving a permanent business visa are:

• EB-1 which provides for entry into the U.S. for executives, managers, researchers, and scientists who demonstrate “extraordinary ability”
• EB-2, or employment visas for individuals who have exceptional abilities or who fill positions left unfilled by the U.S. labor market
• EB-3, which is available for skilled workers and professionals such as nurses and employees with advanced degrees
• EB-4, which allows entry for foreign religious workers
