There are a variety of work visas available to individuals seeking to come to the United States to work. At Colombo, Hurd & Brandt, we provide comprehensive legal services to those wishing to obtain the following types of work visas:

B-1 Visas: Temporary Business Visitor Visas

B-1 visas permit visitors from foreign countries to temporarily come into the United States for legitimate business, commercial, and work-related purposes.

H-1B Visas: Professionals in Specialty Occupations

H-1B visas allow professionals to come to the United States to work in a field that requires a specialization or a special skill. In order to be granted an H-1B visa, the applicant must have at least the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree, and the job that they are applying for must require at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The applicant must also have a sponsoring U.S. employer that is willing to hire the applicant temporarily, pay him/her the required wage, and file a petition with immigration.

H-2B Visas: Seasonal Non-Agricultural Workers

H-2B visas permit business owners to hire foreign workers to perform seasonal, peak-load, intermittent, or one-time only work that is non-agricultural. Business owners and employers must prove that there are no U.S. workers available or willing to do the job. Similar to the H-1B visa, applicants need a U.S. employer to sponsor them and be willing to pay them the required wage.

If you would like more information regarding B-1, H-1B, or H-2B work visas, do not hesitate to contact our immigration attorneys at Colombo, Hurd & Brandt for an initial consultation at 1-(800) 549-5523.
