Work visas generally fall into two main categories: Temporary and Permanent. Each serves different purposes and comes with its own set of requirements and benefits. Temporary work visas are typically designed for short-term employment opportunities and are limited to specific durations.
These visas often cater to seasonal workers, interns, or employees on short-term assignments. Eligibility criteria usually include a job offer from an employer and proof of temporary intent.
On the other hand, permanent work visas provide long-term employment opportunities and a pathway to permanent residency. These visas are ideal for individuals seeking long-term stability and career growth in the US.
Eligibility for permanent work visas often involves more rigorous criteria, including sponsorship by an employer and a labor certification process to prove the necessity of hiring foreign talent.
