Ready To Help With All Types Of Work Visas
There are many kinds of work visas available. Employment-based green cards (EB visas) provide a path to long-term employment in the U.S. For shorter stays, there are temporary work visas, such as:
- H1-B visas: For specialized professionals
- H2-B visas: For nonagricultural workers
- I visa: For representatives of foreign media outlets
- J-1 exchange visa: For those involved in exchange programs (such as au pairs, nannies, scholars and teachers)
- L visas: For executives and professionals transferring within a company to a U.S. location
Our immigration attorneys are here to help you identify the right type of work visa for your situation.
Do You Qualify For A Work Visa?
Each work visa has its own eligibility requirements. Understanding these rules can be challenging. However, our employment immigration attorneys are here to help. We can assist you with determining your eligibility and guide you through the entire process of pursuing a visa.
How Long Does A Work Visa Last?
Work visas vary in length based on their type. Employment-based green cards last indefinitely. Temporary work visas, however, have limited durations. For example, H1-B visas are typically valid for up to three years, with extensions sometimes available.
If you have a temporary work visa and are laid off, in most cases, you have 60 days to either leave the country or pursue another lawful status. Our lawyers can help you understand your options and protect your rights and future.
