H-1B Visa
An H-1B Visa allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in “specialty occupations” such as IT or engineering.
To qualify for the H1B, the position must require at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field and one must have earned that degree or its equivalent. Additionally, the employer must be willing to sponsor the foreign employee.
The H-1B Visa is an excellent way for U.S. companies to hire the best talent from across the world and it is the most commonly used type of temporary work visa. (Learn more here)
L-1 Visa
The L-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa which allows overseas companies to transfer employees under two types of L-1 visa schemes. For L-1 visa transfers of executives and managers including business owners for up to seven years there is the L-1A visa, and for specialized knowledge employees the L-1B visa allows entry for up to five years to a new or existing US office. To qualify for an L-1 visa the employee, which can include business owners, must have worked for a subsidiary, parent, affiliate or branch office of the US company outside of the US for at least one year out of the last three years.
This can be an excellent way for businesses including small businesses to expand into the US with a minimal investment.

Employment Based Visas (EB-1 to EB-3)
Employment based (EB) immigration visas, or Green Cards, allow migrants to gain lawful permanent residence in the US in order to engage in skilled work. There are two ways to obtain a US Green Card: one way is through a family member, the other way is to obtain an employment based Green Card (you can also try for the annual Green Card diversity lottery).
The 3 Most Common EB Categories Are:
- EB-1: For multinational executives or managers, or for people with exceptional experience and ability in science, art, education, business, or sport. (Learn more here)
- EB-2: For those in certain professions – such as medicine, science, and teaching – who hold a Master’s degree or higher. (Learn more here)
- EB-3: For skilled workers with at least 2 years of experience in their field, Master’s degree and PhD holders who are not covered by the EB-2 visa, and for low skilled workers to take a permanent US job. (Learn more here)
