U.S. employers may want to grow their companies by securing a temporary visa for nonimmigrant workers. The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs states that foreign workers must use a visa to temporarily work in the country. There are a few visa options to bring over that key team member.
The H-1B visa is appropriate for specialty occupation workers, who have completed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree or higher, and such degree is required for the job position. Bring over an executive or manager within the company using an L-1A visa, or certain specialized knowledge employees with an L-1B. That renowned scientist, educator or artist can come to the US with the O-1 visa. Or, the TN visa allows the company to bring over Mexican or Canadian professionals on a temporary basis.
To determine what visa options are right for you, consult with one of our immigration attorneys. Helpful information in making the determination include a candidate’s updated resume or curriculum vitae, basic information regarding the candidate, and details regarding he company and offered position.
