What kind of work visa does the United States belong to?

There are many kinds of work visas in the United States. American work visa and American work visa among American visa types require American employers or institutions to submit application documents and obtain USCIS approval before applying for a work visa.

1, H- 1B (professional)

If the applicant wants to go to the United States to engage in pre-arranged professional and technical work, he should apply for an H- 1B visa. This visa requires the applicant to have a bachelor's degree or above (or equivalent) in the professional field he will be engaged in. USCIS will review and decide whether the job the applicant is employed in constitutes a professional skill job and whether the applicant meets the professional skill requirements. The applicant's employer shall submit an application form for labor situation to the US Department of Labor, including the terms of the contract signed between the employer and the employee.

2.2A (seasonal agricultural workers)

When there is a shortage of local workers in the United States, American employers can recruit foreign citizens to engage in short-term agricultural work in the United States through H-2A visas. If you need to do temporary/seasonal agricultural work in the United States for a short time, you can apply for an H-2A non-immigrant visa. An American employer (or American Agricultural Producers Association named after the joint employer) who intends to hire the applicant must submit Form I- 129-Application Form for Non-immigrant Labor for the applicant.

3.H-2B (skilled and unskilled workers)

If you need to go to the United States to do temporary/seasonal work, but the United States lacks corresponding local workers, you should apply for an H-2B visa. An American employer who intends to hire an applicant must obtain certification from the US Department of Labor to confirm that no suitable American citizen meets the applicant's position.

4.H-3 (trainee)

If you need to go to the United States for training in any field (except postgraduate education or training) for two years, you should apply for an H-3 visa. This kind of training can be paid, allowing applicants to take part in practical work, but not productive work, provided that the applicants can't get similar training in their own countries.

5.H-4 (family)

If you are the main applicant for an H visa, your spouse or unmarried children (under 2 1 year old) will be issued with an H-4 visa to accompany them to the United States, but their families are not allowed to work in the United States.

6.L- 1 (intra-company transfer)

If you are an employee of an international company, you need to apply for an L- 1 visa if you are temporarily sent to a higher-level organization, subsidiary or affiliated unit in the United States. The international companies mentioned here can be American enterprises or foreign enterprises. To obtain the L- 1 visa, the applicant must belong to the management/senior management or have professional knowledge, and be sent to the United States by the company to hold such positions, but the job titles before and after going to the United States need not be exactly the same. In addition, in the first three years of applying to work in the United States, the applicant must have worked continuously in the overseas institutions of international companies for one year. L- 1 Visa can only be applied after the American company or subsidiary where the applicant is going to work has been approved by USCIS (whether in the form of company package application or individual application).

7.L-2 (family)

If you are the principal applicant with a valid L visa, your spouse or unmarried children (under 2 1 year old) will be issued with an L-2 visa. According to the recent law, your spouse also has the opportunity to apply for an employment permit. Your spouse must enter the United States with an L-2 visa, and then submit a completed I-765 form (available from USCIS) and pay the relevant application fee. However, the relevant laws still prohibit your child from looking for a job in the United States.

8、O

Class O visas are mainly for outstanding people in the fields of science, art, education, commerce, sports or film and television production and their necessary assistants/escorts.

9, P (artists, entertainers)

P Visa is mainly for sports/entertainment professionals, artists and their necessary assistants/escorts who are going to perform in the United States.

10, q

To apply for this visa, the project organizer must submit an application to USCIS for the applicant and get approval.
