Non-Immigrant Temporary Worker Visas

Nonimmigrant temporary workers are generally allowed to enter the U.S. and stay on a temporary basis for a specific period of time to perform some type of work. These workers usually must demonstrate that they intend to return to their home country once their employment has ended. They are usually sponsored by a U.S. employer for a specific job or a specific work-related purpose, such as training or research in their field.

Common Nonimmigrant Visas

There are many types of nonimmigrant visas for temporary visitors of the U.S. Below are some common examples:

B-1/B-2 Business/Tourist Visa
L Visa for Intra-company Transferees
O Visa for Foreign Nationals with Extraordinary Abilities in the Sciences, Arts, Education, Business, or Athletics
P Visa for Performing Athletes, Artists, or Entertainers
Q Visa for International Cultural Exchange Visitors
F-1 or M-1 Student Visa
R Visa or Religious Worker Visa
I Visa or Journalist and Media Visa

B-1 Visas may also be for eligible personal or domestic servants accompanying an employer to the United States.

Applying for Employment-Based Visas

To obtain this visa, you will likely have to undergo several screening processes. On top of that, some visa categories are subject to annual caps. Candidates must meet all of the requirements for admission under their specific category and may have to pass inspection by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) upon arrival.

Permanent resident employment-based visas are available under five different categories, which are also subject to an annual cap.

These categories include:

E1 - Persons with extraordinary ability, professors, researchers, and executives
E2 - Persons with advanced degrees and/or exceptional ability
E3 - Professionals, skilled, and unskilled workers
E4 - Certain special immigrants
E5 - Immigrant investors

Most of these immigrants are also sponsored by a U.S. employer based on their company needs. They are allowed to obtain green cards as long as they meet all necessary requirements.
