Arizona Attorneys for Employers and Employees
There are several visa categories that allow non immigrants to work in the United States. Determining the correct visa for your needs depends on the type of job, your country of origin and the statutory role of the employer. At Kanu & Associates, P.C., our lawyers assist both employers and employees seeking nonimmigrant employment visas. Our goal is to streamline the process for our clients and make it as easy as possible to obtain an employment visa.
Categories of Nonimmigrant Employment Visas
A significant number of employment visas are in the H visa category. However, there are many other categories that may apply to employment situations. At our Phoenix law firm, our lawyers help clients with visas that include:
- H visas: These include visas for physicians and other specialized professionals (H-1B visa), temporary agricultural workers (H-2A visa), unskilled workers (H-2B), training program participants (H-3 visa), Free Trade Agreement professionals from Chile and Singapore (H-1B1 visa), temporary workers performing jobs for which a shortage of qualified U.S. workers exists (H-2B, H-1A visa)
- J visas: For exchange program participants such as professors, scholars, teachers and physicians
- L visas: Intracompany transferees (managers and executives or employees with specialized knowledge)
- TN status: Professionals who are citizens of Mexico and Canada and are employed in one of the professions listed in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
In addition, there are visas that apply to employees and employers in sports, the arts, sciences, education and business (O and P visas); religious workers; journalists (I visas) and other specialized occupations. Our attorneys work with employers and employees to determine the type of visa that will meet our clients' goals.
