How to apply for a work visa in the United States

A kind of American visa, which refers to: special occupation/temporary worker visa (H- 1B), for special professionals/temporary workers. H 1B visa is the most important work visa in the United States. It is a non-immigrant visa issued to employees with foreign nationality and professional skills employed by American companies. H 1B visa holders can work in the United States for three years, which can be extended for another three years. After the expiration of six years, visa holders must leave the United States if their status has not changed.

Visa type 1. Most short-term work visas require American employers or organizations that intend to hire applicants to submit application documents (petitions) and obtain the approval of USCIS before applying for a balanced work visa.

2. 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. During the interview, the visa officer will verify the applicant's approval documents through the Application Information Management System (PIMS) in the State Council, USA.

3. The applicant should show the I- 129 batch number when interviewing the embassy or consulate to verify its information. If the applicant does not meet the visa qualifications stipulated in the US immigration law, then the application approval is too rough to be used as a guarantee for obtaining a visa.
