Types of Work Visas

There are visas that cater to individuals who wish to live and work in the United States. These work visas are divided into a variety of classifications, and the appropriate classification for an individual will depend on the position in question, as well as the person's job duties and qualifications. Examples of common work visas include:

• L-1B - This is for intracompany transfers who will employ specialized knowledge regarding their employer's products, procedures, or services. They must have worked abroad for a branch, affiliate, subsidiary, or parent of the company for at least one out of the three preceding years.
• O-1 - This classification is for people with extraordinary abilities in education, science, art, athletics, or business, or those with extraordinary accomplishments in motion pictures or television who intend to continue working in that field.
