Work Visas

A common way to immigrate to the U.S. is by obtaining a work visa. If you are applying for residency for professional reasons, you can obtain one of two types of work visas, demonstrating to the U.S. government that you possess valuable skills and talents needed in the country.

Nonimmigrant Worker Visas

These visas are designed for people seeking temporary residence in the United States. These include exchange students and professors, university students, business visitors, media personnel, journalists, religious workers, medical professionals, and foreign military personnel stationed in the United States, among many others.

Immigrant Worker Visas

There are five main types of immigrant work visas, and we can assist you with the following three:

E1: First Preference Worker: Priority Workers. Individuals with extraordinary abilities, such as distinguished professors and researchers, and managers or executives of multinational corporations.

E2: Second Employment Preference: Professionals with advanced degrees and individuals with exceptional abilities

E3: Third Employment Preference: Skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers

To qualify for either of the above visas, you must have an employer who has obtained labor certification approval from the Department of Labor, or, in the case of an E1 visa, you must apply for your own approval. The documentation for each is detailed and often confusing, so you should ensure you do not accidentally apply for the wrong visa.
