As a small business owner, he understands the frustrations of the small business owner. Good workers are hard to find, and they are harder to keep. Many foreigners want to achieve the American dream and will work hard to prove themselves. They bring with them richness and culture of their countries and are eager to please their employer if given a chance.
Permanent Work Visa Options in the United States
An employer may sponsor an employee for a permanent job. The permanent residence card is also known as a “green card.” If the petition is approved, the employee’s spouse and children under 21 may also receive green cards. There are three primary categories of business visas. The first is the “EB1,” visa. The second is the “EB2” visa. The third is the “EB3” visa. The government limits the number of visas each year in each category by country of citizenship as well as type of visa. Some of these categories require the applicant to have a job offer while others do not. Visit our pages for these visas to learn more.
Temporary Work Visa Options in the United States
In addition to sponsoring an employee for permanent residence, an employer may sponsor an employee to work for a temporary duration. Most categories require the employee to hold a professional degree, license, or high level of skill. Common types of temporary visas are the TN Visa, the E1 and E2 treaty visas, the L visa, the O visa, the P visa, and the H1B visa. The employee’s spouse and children under 21 may accompany the employee to the United States. Many foreigners enter the US. under the temporary work visa until they can locate an employer who will sponsor them for permanent employment. The Rothrock Law Firm has counseled many clients to achieve this goal.
Work Visas for Unskilled Laborers
The U.S. government allots a very small percentage of permanent work visas for people who have unskilled labor. If people who work unskilled jobs wish to gain permanent residents in the United States, they often enter the United States to work temporarily. Eventually, they meet and marry a U.S. citizen. Once they marry a citizen, they obtain a green card through marriage. The H2B program and the J1 Exchange program allow unskilled workers to find temporary work in the United States. At this time, it is very difficult to find permanent employment in the U.S. through a work visa for unskilled workers.
