Ensuring That You Can Live And Work in the U.S.
An employment visa is provided to immigrants who need to come to the United States for work. This usually requires sponsorship by a U.S. employer who confirms you must relocate for the job. When starting the application process, you must obtain a labor certification approval from the Department of Labor. Once you have received the certification approval, you must file a Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker).
There are two categories of employment visas:
- Temporary work visa – An individual seeks employment in the U.S for a temporary period of time for a specific purpose. They are restrained by the activity of their visa.
- Permanent work visa – An individual is authorized to live and work in the U.S permanently.

Types of Employment Visas
There are several types of employment visas you can apply for. One of the visas we receive the most questions about is the EB-3 visa. You may be eligible for this immigrant worker visa if you qualify as a skilled worker, professional, or other worker. As a skilled worker, you must show proof of at least two years of training or work experience. A professional must show a bachelor’s degree or a foreign equivalent. The petition is usually accompanied by a labor certification from the Department of Labor. The EB-3 allows foreign workers to obtain a green card or permanent resident status.
