• Specialist
• Students
• Teachers
• Summer work travel

Applying For A J-1 Visa
In order to apply for a J-1 Visa, you must satisfy all requirements and be accepted for an exchange visitor program through a designated sponsor organization.

J1-Visa-USA
Temporary work Visa (Non-Agricultural)

U.S. Temporary Non-Agricultural (H-2B) visas are generally used for jobs that are temporary but not agricultural – for example, jobs at ski mountains, beach resorts, or amusement parks.

The U.S government allows employers who can prove their temporary need for employees. The Foreign worker can then apply for the visas after being sponsored and have the opportunity to work in the U.S for a specified period of time.

Temporary workers cannot replace full-time or permanent workers.

The H-2B visa jobs are designed for some specific industries like:

• Hospitality
• Cruise Ships
• Resorts and Theme Parks
• Construction
• Ski resorts
• Golf courses
• Maintenance and janitorial
• Landscaping
• Water Parks
• Warehouses etc

To be eligible for the H-2B visa jobs, the foreign worker must fulfil these conditions:

• They must have a job offer from a U.S employer
• They have to prove their intent to return to their country of origin once their visa expires
• They have to be eligible for an H-2B visa by proving that they are skilled workers in the job position that they are offered
• They have to be from a country listed in the H-2B eligible countries list

The Department of Homeland Security has determined the citizens of countries that are eligible to get H-2B visas. The list is updated each year and employers can ask to add other countries.

Temporary Worker Visas (Skilled Workers)

The U.S H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ graduate level workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as in IT, finance, accounting, architecture, engineering, mathematics, science, medicine, etc.

You may be able to show degree equivalence through work experience or other equivalents if you do not possess a bachelors degree.

Note: Individuals cannot apply directly for an H-1B visa, the only employer must petition for entry of the employee.

The H-1b visa is granted for up to three years but may be extended to a maximum of six years.

The H-B1 though a non-immigrant visa is one of the few U.S visa categories that enables the holder to apply for and obtain a U.S Green Card.

To apply, you must have an employee-employer relationship, work in a specific in-demand specialty occupation, and be paid above the prevailing wage for that job.

There is a cap of 65,000 H1-B visas issued each year.
