Employment-Based Non-Permanent Residents in Southfield
Discuss Your Options with Our Immigration Team
Foreign nationals who wish to legally work in the United States on a temporary basis must obtain an employment-based non-permanent residence visa. There is no one single work visa that allows you to secure employment in the U.S.; instead, you must apply for one of more than twenty non-immigrant work visas. Each of these visas allows you to legally enter and temporarily work in the U.S. under different, specific circumstances.

Our extensively experienced attorneys for employment-based non-permanent residents in Southfield can help you determine which type of visa suits your situation and can guide you through the application process. We strive to ensure that you understand all of your available options, offering answers to your questions and addressing any concerns you may have.

Types of Temporary Work Visas in the U.S.
As previously mentioned, there are more than two dozen types of temporary work visas in the United States. The type of visa you will need to apply for will depend on your unique situation.
Some of the most common types of temporary work visas include:
- B-1 Visas: The B-1 visa allows temporary business visitors to enter the U.S. in order to negotiate contracts, consult with business associates, attend professional conferences, take part in a training program, or settle an estate, amongst other similar short-term business activities.
- E-1 and E-2 Visas: E-1 and E-2 visas are available to eligible treaty investors and traders. Qualified individuals include citizens of countries that maintain certain trade and commerce treaties with the United States.
- F-1 Visas: The F-1 visa is a student visa that allows foreign nationals to attend school (elementary, high school, college, university, seminary, etc.) in the United States on a full-time basis. The F-1 visa allows for employment, on or off campus, under certain circumstances.
- H-1B Visas: The H-1B visa is intended to allow workers who have obtained special expertise in a particular field (such as engineering, medicine, science, IT, and finance) to secure temporary employment in the U.S.
- L Visas: L visas allow employees of multinational corporations to transfer to a U.S.-based office/branch of the company. There are multiple visas available in the L category, including the L-1A visa for executives and managers and the L-1B visa for employees with specialized knowledge.
This list is not comprehensive; there are many other temporary work visas for employment-based non-permanent residents, including I visas for information media representatives, J visas for exchange visitors, O visas for individuals with “extraordinary talents,” P visas for athletes and entertainers, Q visas for international cultural exchange program members, R-1 visas for certain religious workers, and TN/NAFTA visas for workers coming from North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries.
