<p>
Since there are long waiting lines for most permanent visa categories,
temporary nonimmigrant visas are generally faster and easier to obtain and
are required to visit, study, work, or invest in the United States. In many
cases, nonimmigrant visas for work in the United States are
employer-specific—one can only work for the company that petitions or
sponsors the foreign national.
</p>
<p>
Below are highlights of some nonimmigrant visa options for foreign
nationals seeking employment in the United States. Processing times may
vary from the typical ranges stated below as of publication. Contact your
WR attorney for help with specific cases. Current wait times and other
information is available from the Department of State’s
