What Are Employment-Based Visas?

Employment-based visas allow foreign nationals to live and work legally in the United States. These visas fall into two broad categories:

  • Temporary Work Visas: For short-term or specialized job opportunities
  • Permanent Work Visas (Green Cards): For individuals looking to stay and work in the U.S. long-term

Each visa type has unique requirements based on profession, skill level, employer sponsorship, and the availability of visas in that category.

Types of Employment Visas We Help With

Our New York employment-based visa attorneys handle a variety of visa types, including:

  • H-1B Visa: For skilled professionals in fields such as tech, engineering, finance, and medicine
  • L-1 Visa: For intra-company transfers from overseas offices to U.S. locations
  • O-1 Visa: For individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, business, education, or athletics
  • E Visas: For investors or traders from treaty countries
  • PERM/Labor Certification: For permanent employment-based green card applications

Whether you’re an employee or an employer, we can help you choose the right path.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between temporary and permanent work visas?

Temporary visas allow you to work for a set time period. Permanent visas (green cards) give you the right to work and live in the U.S. indefinitely.

What is the duration required to obtain an H-1B visa?

Processing times vary but typically range from 3 to 6 months. Premium processing may reduce wait time.

Can I use a work visa to bring my family with me?

Yes. Many employment visas allow spouses and children to accompany you and, in some cases, work or study.

What happens if my work visa expires?

You may face loss of legal status and must stop working. We can help explore extensions or change of status options.

If I have a work visa, can I change jobs?

In most cases, changing employers requires a new petition. Talk to a lawyer before making any move.
