Temporary Work Visas Temporary Work Visas Law Firm

One of Colorado immigration attorney Lisa E. Battan’s primary practice areas is business-based immigration. Below is a basic overview of business immigration laws in the United States.

Current U.S. immigration law allows people who have skills and talents needed in the U.S. to be admitted to the U.S. to work on a temporary or permanent basis.

Nonimmigrant Business Visa Applications (Temporary)

There are more than 20 different kinds of nonimmigrant visa names and types. Each is defined by federal law to meet a particular need of the U.S. economy. Foreign nationals may use these visas for employment in the United States, under tightly regulated conditions.

USCIS allows these foreign nationals to enter the United States for temporary, specifically defined periods of time. In most cases, the foreign nationals must show intent to return to their home country at the end of their temporary stay.

Non-immigrants with permission to work in the United States are either sponsored by a U.S. employer based on a specific job offer and must work only for that employer, or have work permission for specific objectives. Laws limit some work-authorized categories by annual levels.

Commonly used visa applications by Colorado immigration lawyer Lisa E. Battan include the following:

B-2 -- Visitor for Pleasure

B-1 -- Visitor for Business

E-1/E-2 -- Treaty Investor and Treaty Trader
