Temporary Non-Immigrant Visas

There are different types of Non-Immigrant Visas, but the more common are the H-1B Non-immigrant Visas and the L-1 Visas.

H-1B is used for the temporary employment of a worker in a specialty occupation. It requires an application by the U.S. employer for the services of the alien. The basic requirement is that the position demands the services of an individual with at least a baccalaureate level of education in a specific field and the employee holds the relevant degree and/or equivalent experience.

L-1 Non-immigrant visa category is one of the most useful tools available to international companies needing to bring foreign employees to the United States. L-1 employees in managerial or executive roles also have an advantageous route to permanent residence.
