Visiting or Temporarily Working in USA

Working in the United States

Many foreigners want to temporarily work in the United States. The most frequent way to work in the Unites States is that a US company or individual file a petition on behalf of the foreigner. 

There are many types of work visas in the United States. If you have the right combination of skills, education, work experience and background, you might be able to qualify for one or more work visa types. Through the work visa you can also obtain a green card. See more details here.

If you live outside the United States upon USCIS approval you can apply for the visa or seek admission at a port of entry or an American Consulate. If you are inside the United States, you might be able to change your status to a work visa classification that provides work authorization. 

Spouses and minor children can accompany the principal work visa holder during the authorized work stay in the United States.   

Depending on the work visa classification you seek, you might or might not need an employer. Some classifications allow self-petition, which means filing an application on your own behalf. 

Once you USCIS has approved your work visa status, you must comply with all the conditions of your work visa to remain in good status in the United States.
