There are many temporary work visas available to foreign workers seeking employment in the United States. Employment-based visas are assigned based on qualifications, education and skill. Persons working in many different types of occupations are potentially eligible for temporary work visas that allow them to work legally in the United States. These visas can be used by people who intend to return to their home countries as well as those who intend to eventually apply for labor certification or employment-based green cards. To find out more about obtaining a work visa for your specific career, talk to an experienced immigration attorney.
