Work Visa

USA Temporary Work Visas

The United States offers several temporary employment visa classifications. Most employment-based nonimmigrant categories require a U.S. employer or authorised agent to complete the applicable petition process before the applicant applies for a visa.

H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa
L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa
O Visa
P Visa
H-2A / H-2B Visa

U.S. work visa requirements vary significantly by category. Most petition-based employment visas require an employer or other qualifying petitioner, USCIS approval and a separate visa application. An approved petition does not guarantee visa issuance.
