Temporary Employment Nonimmigrant Visas

A nonimmigrant work visa grants you temporary stay in the United States. It is offered to individuals in business, science, and academia for limited purposes.

When your visa expires, you must leave the United States unless you have applied for Legal Permanent Residency.

Our firm also assists businesses of all sizes—including multinational corporations, nonprofits, and small or medium-sized businesses—with U.S. immigration matters.

What are Examples of Nonimmigrant Work Visas?

Our immigration law firm evaluates each case to determine the best available visa option.

Common nonimmigrant work visas include:

  • E-1 Visa — International trade
  • E-2 Visa — Investors and essential workers
  • H-1B Visa — Specialty occupations
  • L-1A Visa — Managers and executives
  • L-1B Visa — Employees with specialized knowledge

The E-2 visa is based on the nationality of the business owner and requires majority ownership.

The L-1B visa allows U.S. employers to transfer employees with specialized knowledge or establish a new office in the United States.

There are many other types of temporary nonimmigrant visas available depending on eligibility.

Can I Get Permanent Residency from a Nonimmigrant Visa?

A nonimmigrant visa generally allows temporary stay in the United States, and the individual is expected to leave when the visa expires.

However, in certain cases, individuals may be eligible to apply for Legal Permanent Residency while remaining in the United States during the application process.

Eligibility depends on the specific visa category and individual circumstances.

Can My Family Come With Me?

Spouses and unmarried children under 21 may also be eligible for dependent visas.

In some cases, spouses may qualify for work authorization depending on the visa type.
