Foreign Workers Visa

Work Visas for Foreign Citizens in the U.S.

Any citizen of a foreign country seeking to enter the U.S. must obtain a visa before doing so. If you are coming to the U.S. for work and you are not considering permanent residence, then you must apply for and successfully obtain a foreign workers visa before you can be employed. There are various types of U.S. work visas, including the following:

• U.S. H-1B Non-Immigrant Visas – Designed for skilled, educated workers who have an established relationship with an employer, these visas are given to those who work in an in-demand specialty occupation.
• Non-Agricultural (H-2B) Visas – These are available for non-agricultural foreign workers to work in the U.S. They may be used for temporary jobs in seasonal industries, such as ski resorts, hotels, or amusement parks.
• U.S. Seasonal Agricultural Worker (H-2A) Visas – If there is a shortage of domestic agricultural workers, these visas may be available for foreign agricultural workers to work in the U.S. on a temporary or seasonal basis.

Once you have successfully obtained your foreign workers visa, you will need to get a permit to work. An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) signifies you are permitted and eligible to work in the U.S. Typically, EADs are valid for one year.
