Work Visa
Work Visa
To be eligible for a temporary work/training visa (H classification) or intra-company transfer visa (L classification), the applicant must be a beneficiary of Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, filed by the prospective employer and approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). H-1B visas apply to persons in a specialty occupation, which requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge requiring completion of a specific course of higher education. This classification requires a labor attestation issued by the Department of Labor. H-1C visas are for registered nurses, H-3 visas are for Trainees, and L-1 visas are for intra-company transferees. The spouse and unmarried children under age 21 of the H and L visa holder may be given H-4 and L-2 visas respectively.
