Why You Need an Immigration Attorney to Apply for a Work Visa

Navigating any area of law can be complicated, especially immigration law. When it comes to U.S. immigration, potential immigrants aren’t always clear about everything that is required of them, especially those who struggle with the English language. This sometimes causes a barrier of getting into the country and staying here. Whether you are trying to become a permanent resident or looking for a work visa, having an immigration attorney on your side can be helpful, if not essential.

Instead of trying to navigate these cases yourself, it’s important to hire an immigration attorney to help apply for an employment visa instead of trying to navigate the process alone.

Consulting with an immigration attorney is beneficial for the following reasons:

An experienced immigration attorney will have a wealth of knowledge of the laws and regulations impacting your case. At our law firm, we stay up to date on changes dealing with immigration law.

Foreign Workers Visa

Work Visas for Foreign Citizens in the U.S.

Any citizen of a foreign country seeking to enter the U.S. must obtain a visa before doing so. If you are coming to the U.S. for work and you are not considering permanent residence, then you must apply for and successfully obtain a foreign workers visa before you can be employed. There are various types of U.S. work visas, including the following:

U.S. H-1B Non-Immigrant Visas – Designed for skilled, educated workers who have an established relationship with an employer, these visas are given to those who work in an in-demand specialty occupation.
Non-Agricultural (H-2B) Visas – These are available for non-agricultural foreign workers to work in the U.S. They may be used for temporary jobs in seasonal industries, such as ski resorts, hotels, or amusement parks.
U.S. Seasonal Agricultural Worker (H-2A) Visas – If there is a shortage of domestic agricultural workers, these visas may be available for foreign agricultural workers to work in the U.S. on a temporary or seasonal basis.

Once you have successfully obtained your foreign workers visa, you will need to get a permit to work. An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) signifies you are permitted and eligible to work in the U.S. Typically, EADs are valid for one year.
