Work visas allow foreign nationals to take a job in the United States for a limited time. Each type is designed for a kind of work, such as skilled professional jobs, seasonal farm or nonfarm labor, transfers within a company, the arts, athletics, religion, and media. The Department of Labor, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of State each have a role.
People usually ask which visa fits a job, what an employer must do first, and how long a worker can stay. They also ask whether family members may come along, whether a worker can switch employers, and how limits on numbers affect applicants.
