US Work visas

The US work category covers the temporary worker routes for coming to the United States to work — such as the H (including the H-1B specialty occupation), L (intracompany transfer) and O (extraordinary ability) visas. Most US work visas require a US employer to sponsor you and, for many, an approved petition before you apply. This section groups the US temporary worker routes and links to the official U.S. Department of State and USCIS guidance so you can confirm what applies to you.
