Temporary employment visas allow U.S. employers to hire highly skilled foreign nationals to work in a specific job for a limited time period or for intracompany transfers. Depending on the type of visa being sought and the nationality of the prospective employee, the employer may be required to file a petition for a nonimmigrant worker with USCIS and the employee apply for a visa at the U.S, Embassy or Consulate abroad. It is of the utmost importance understand whether there are the preliminary conditions to move forward with a work application.
