The American Dream is a goal that many non-american individuals living outside the U.S aim to turn into reality. The belief that anyone, regardless of race, gender, or social position, has the freedom to work hard and achieve their version of success is the spirit that built the foundation of the United States. As a powerful nation constructed by immigrants, today the U.S. has the world’s largest economy, which is predicted to reach USD 25.3 trillion in 2024.
Immigrants and their children are expected to add about 18 million people to the U.S. workforce between 2015 and 2035, offsetting the decline of Baby Boomers heading into retirement. However, you need to take practical steps to transform your vision of working in the United States into reality. At the top of the list is understanding what types of visas allow you to legally enter the country to work.
There are four principal types of work visas that the U.S. government grants to immigrants. Each one differs according to the amount of time you would like to spend in the United States, your qualifications, and what type of work you wish to perform.
Temporary worker visas are for foreigners who want to enter the U.S. to work for a fixed period of time — not an indefinite or permanent duration. This type of visa usually requires the prospective employer to first file a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The petition needs to be approved before you can apply for a work visa. A complete chart of all the classifications of temporary nonimmigrant workers can be found on the USCIS site.
To enter the United States to conduct very short-term business, visit friends, or for medical reasons, you may be eligible for these visas for temporary visitors, or you may not need a visa at all.
You must have a student visa to study in the United States. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) collects and maintains information so that only legitimate foreign students or exchange visitors gain entry. Those who wish to participate in full-time academic or vocational activities in the U.S. or enroll in a cultural exchange program may qualify for these visas.
Only about 140,000 of these prized permanent immigrant visas are available each year for noncitizens and their families who wish to immigrate to the U.S. based on their job skills. If you possess the right amount of talent, ability, and education or experience that towers above the crowd, you may be one of the fortunate few who qualify to live and work permanently in the United States. There are five permanent immigrant visa preference categories that are employment-based (EB):
