Temporary Skilled Workers
Skilled workers include individuals who are qualified to work in specialty occupations. These workers may qualify for the H-1B visa. Applicants for these visas must perform work that requires a high level of skill. Most people who apply for this type of visa hold a university degree, but there are situations where a visa is issued to an individual with a lot of work experience in a specialized field, even without a degree.
In order to qualify for this visa, the worker must:
- Have a job offer from an employer in the United States
- The job must pay the prevailing wage for that position
- The applicant must have the right background for the job requirements
The application process requires that the employer determine the prevailing wage for the position. The employer must then file a Labor Condition Attestation with the Department of Labor and the H-1B petition with the USCIS. After the petition is approved, the application must be filed by the employee at the U.S. Consulate. This type of visa requires a significant amount of preparation and the correct procedures must be followed. Our temporary work visa lawyer in Murrieta can help you complete the process.
Temporary Agricultural & Non-Agricultural Workers
Not all temporary work visas require workers to be highly skilled. Many workers enter the United States each year on seasonal agricultural workers visas, or H2-A visas. The H-2B visa is an option for foreign workers in non-agricultural fields, provided that there are not enough U.S. citizens to fill the positions. These are often worker at amusement parks, hotels, resorts, truck drivers, and other jobs. We can help you determine which visa is best for your situation and guide you through the application process, as well as protect you from deportation if you are facing an issue.
