An Employment Visa or Work Visa generally describes a category of nonimmigrant visas that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. Requirements vary by type of Visa, but the process is generally the same for the US Employer and foreign employee appicant.

To be eligible for an L Visa the applicant must have worked for at least One (1) year of the last three (3) years outside the United States for a company that has a branch, affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company in the United States to which you have been transferred. The employee must be a Manager, Executive, or have some type of unique specialized knowledge, training, or experience that uniquely suits them for the role in the United States. Not all employees from international countries are eligible.
P Visas are for Athletes, Athletic Teams and Entertainment Groups invited to perform in the United States.
Before the foreign employee can apply for any of these Work Visas, the employer must first submit a petition, which will define the conditions of the event or performance, establish proof of the applicants’ international distiction and/or commercial success, including the contract between the two parties and the itinerary for the events and duration of their stay. Certain Visa types will also require the employer to file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the U.S. Department of Labor. After the LCA is approved, the employer can then submit the petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
