Visas for Temporary Workers
A foreign national worker who wishes to come to the United States for temporary work must apply for an H-1B visa. This is a nonimmigrant visa, which allows successful applicants to enter the U.S. for a job that he or she has been offered by a U.S. employer.

Employer Obligations
First and foremost, a foreign national must be offered a job to work in the U.S. before he or she can gain entry on an H-1B visa. The employer must submit a number of documents to the Department of Labor, including a Labor Condition Application. Once this has been approved, the employer may then initiate an application for an H-1B visa on behalf of the prospective employee.
It is important to note that the employer must initiate this application; the foreign national worker may not do so on his or her own. Once the employer’s H-1B application has been approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the prospective worker may then file for an H-1B visa in his or her country of residence at the U.S. Consulate Office.
How a Lawyer Can Help

Backing from an attorney can also help to expedite the process, because it shows the USCIS that the application has been overseen by a professional who is practiced in immigration law.
