Temporary Work Visas

Nonimmigrant visa exemplarTemporary work visas, also known as nonimmigrant work visas, come in many different flavors. While in many instances, only one type of temporary work visa is appropriate for a specific job, it is not unusual for a worker to have a choice of two or more categories from which to choose.

Because of the many restrictions involved, it is very important that you understand the nature of each category and the eligibility criteria. Not everyone qualifies, even if they may superficially meet the eligibility criteria.

Please review these materials and use them as a foundation for learning more about the category or categories that interest you.
