Information

Every year, many foreign nationals file for the limited number of H-1B visas to work and live in the United States. Of course not everyone can be successful and therefore its important to look at other work visa options.

Some options include cap-exempt H-1B visas for those employed by higher education or research organizations, and professional specialty worker visas like TN, and E-3, designated for nationals of specific countries. Treaty Trader/Investor visas, E-1 and E-2, should also be looked at for those who may be eligible as investors.

There are other options for foreign graduates, and post-completion OPT or STEM OPT extensions can provide additional opportunities to secure an H-1B visa. The L-1 visa is an option for employees of companies which have an office or affiliated company outside the USA. the O-1 visa is available to those with extraordinary abilities or achievements.
