Work Visa

Work visas vary and may have different requirements. If you want to work in the United States but are not a citizen, you can acquire one of the visas listed below to legally work and reside in the country. Some of these visas include:

L-1 Visa

• This visa is defined as an intra-company transfer US visa. This means that it permits a US company to transfer an employee from one of its offices outside of the United States into the country. Currently, there are two types of L-1 visas: L1-A (for managers and executives) and L1-B (for specialized employees).

O-1 Visa

• Person of Extraordinary Ability Visa. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration says “The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.”

H-1B Visa

• Three types of people may file petitions for this visa. They are people who work in specialty occupations, those who are part of cooperative research for the Department of Defense, or fashion models. This visa requires those who petition to have a sponsor.
