The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise, such as in IT, engineering, or medical fields. To be eligible, you must have a job offer from a U.S. employer for a role that requires a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific specialty, and you must possess the necessary qualifications and education for the position.
The L-1 visa allows multinational companies to transfer executives, managers, or employees with specialized knowledge from a foreign office to a U.S. office. To qualify, you must have worked for the company abroad for at least one continuous year within the three years preceding your application, and you must be entering the U.S. to work in an executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity.
To qualify for the E-2 Treaty Investor visa, you must be a citizen of a treaty country and invest a substantial amount of capital in a bona fide U.S. enterprise. While there is no fixed amount, the investment should be significant enough to ensure the successful operation of the enterprise. Typically, investments of at least $100,000 are considered substantial, though smaller investments may qualify depending on the business.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program allows investors to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. by investing in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The required investment amount is $1.8 million, or $900,000 if the investment is made in a targeted employment area (TEA), which is a rural area or an area with high unemployment.
The O-1 visa is for individuals who have extraordinary ability in their field, such as the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. To qualify, you must demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and recognition in your field through evidence such as awards, publications, critical reviews, or a high salary. You must also have a U.S. employer or agent to sponsor your visa.
The TN visa allows qualified Canadian and Mexican professionals to work in the U.S. under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Benefits of the TN visa include quick processing times, no annual cap on the number of visas issued, and the ability to work in the U.S. for up to three years with the possibility of extension. To qualify, you must have a job offer in one of the approved professions listed under NAFTA and meet the specific educational and professional requirements for that profession.
