What should I do if I want to work in America?

Most short-term work visas require American employers or institutions that intend to hire applicants to submit applications and obtain USCIS approval before applying for work visas.

All applicants for H, L, O, P and Q visas must first obtain the approval of your job application from USCIS. Only after the work application and I- 129 form are approved can the applicant apply for a work visa from the embassy or consulate. After the application is approved, the applicant's employer or agency will be issued with Form I-797 (approval notice), which is the applicant's work approval notice. The visa officer will verify the applicant's approval through the Application Information Management System (PIMS) in the State Council, USA.

Applicants should present the I- 129 batch number to verify their information during the interview at the embassy/consulate. If the applicant does not meet the visa qualification stipulated in the US immigration law, this application document cannot be used as a guarantee for obtaining a visa.

The time for the embassy/consulate to process H, L, O, P or Q visa applications will not be earlier than 90 days before the entry time indicated on the applicant's I-797 form. However, according to the laws of the U.S. federal government, the time for visa holders to apply for entry into the United States should not be earlier than 10 days before the entry time marked on the I-797 form. Please pay attention to this matter in order to arrange your travel plan.

Food and any liquids, including drinks, are not allowed in the visa office of the embassy. It is also not allowed to bring any electronic equipment, including mobile phones, so it is recommended not to bring anything except keys, wallets and visa application folders.

The entire area of the visa office of the US Embassy is under the monitoring of the US government. Watch your words and deeds. All actions are monitored by the camera, which is likely to affect the visa results.

Honesty is very important in an interview. Misleading, lying and/or submitting relevant false materials may lead to permanent refusal.
