Temporary Work Visas: Opportunities and Requirements in the United States

Temporary work visas offer a pathway for foreign workers to come to the United States and work for a limited period. The H-1B visa program is the most popular temporary work visa program in the United States. This program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations such as engineering, science, and computer programming. To be eligible for an H-1B visa, a foreign worker must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience. The employer must also demonstrate that the job requires a specialized education and that the worker possesses the skills required for the job. The U.S. government issues a limited number of H-1B visas each year and the demand for these visas often exceeds supply. Another popular temporary work visa program is the H-2B visa program. This program is designed for foreign workers who come to the United States for seasonal or temporary work, such as in the tourism or hospitality industries. To be eligible for an H-2B visa, the job must be temporary and the employer must demonstrate that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, and qualified to do the work. There are also other temporary work visa programs available in the United States, such as the L-1 visa program for intracompany transfers and the O-1 visa program for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, education, or athletics. Each visa program has its own requirements and application process, so it is important to do research before applying for a particular program. Temporary work visas provide opportunities for foreign workers to come to the United States, expand their skills and experience, and contribute to the U.S. economy. However, the application process can be complex and time-consuming. It is advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or a qualified immigration service provider to ensure that all requirements are met and the application is submitted correctly.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
