Common Types Of Employment-Based Visas
While there are many different kinds of employment-based visas, some are more common than others. Below are some of the types of visas that workers frequently need.
H-1B Visa
The H-1B visa is for skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations, typically requiring a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. This visa allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign professionals in technology, science and engineering.
TN Visa
The TN visa is available to citizens of Canada and Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It allows professionals in certain occupations to work in the U.S. for a specific employer.
L-1 Visa
The L-1 visa is designed for intracompany transferees, allowing multinational companies to transfer employees from a foreign office to a U.S. office. It includes L-1A for managers and executives and L-1B for employees with specialized knowledge.
O-1 Visa
The O-1 visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in science, arts, education, business or athletics. It is often sought by those at the top of their respective fields.
EB-1 Visa
The EB-1 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa for individuals with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, or multinational managers and executives. It is designed for those who demonstrate exceptional achievements in their field.
EB-2 Visa
The EB-2 visa is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in their field. It includes both advanced degree professionals and individuals with exceptional ability.
EB-3 Visa
The EB-3 visa is for skilled workers, professionals with bachelor’s degrees and unskilled workers (other workers). It allows U.S. employers to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residence.
PERM Labor Certification
The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) process is a labor certification program that U.S. employers must complete to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency through the EB-2 or EB-3 categories.
