Temporary Work Visas

Temporary visas may be granted to individuals wishing to enter the United States and work for a specific period of time. In all cases, temporary visas must start with an employer filing a petition with USCIS and the approved petition must accompany the visa application.

Temporary work visas are given to individuals who possess a specialty occupation and have a higher education degree. Also, they are available to seasonal agricultural workers, and other categories that fall under Free Trade Agreements.
