US Work Permit: Many Visas, Many Options

By Michael Niren November 23, 2008 1 min. read

There are many types of US Work Permits

Working  and living in the US is a dream for many people. We receive inquires from people wishing to live and work in the US on a regular basis. In most cases, in order to work in the US, you need a US Work Permit which requires a US job offer from a employer in the US. US Work Permits such as H-1B Visas, TN Visas and O-1 Visas  for example all require US job offers. However, in some cases, a US Work Permit can be obtained by starting your own business. An E2 Visa may be most appropriate in this case. Or if you are being transfered from your existing business or company located outside the US to a new or existing US office, then an L1 Visa may be necessary.

An immigration lawyer can help you decide which US Work Permit is right for you

The various options for US Work Permits can be overwhelming.  We call it the “alphabet soup” dilemma. Do you require an O, E, H, L, R, TN Visa to work in the US? It all depends on various factors such as your own educational and work credentials, the duration of intended employment in the US, and the nature of work. And to make matters more complicated, each work permt has its own specific procedures and processing times.

The particular US Work Permit that is right for you should be determined by an immigration lawyer who can assess your situation and provide you with the proper advice accordingly.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
