Our Business Immigration Legal Services in Chicago Can Assist You With:
- O visas. O visas are U.S. nonimmigrant visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in fields like science, arts, education, business, athletics, or the motion picture/television industry. The O-1A covers science, education, business, or athletics, while the O-1B applies to the arts or entertainment. O-2 visas are for essential support personnel, and O-3 for spouses and children. Applicants must show sustained national or international acclaim and a U.S. job offer or event requiring their expertise. The visa is typically granted for the duration of the event or project, up to three years, with extensions available.
- P visas. P visas are for athletes, artists, and entertainers coming to the U.S. temporarily to perform or compete. The P-1 covers internationally recognized athletes or entertainment groups, P-2 is for artists or entertainers in reciprocal exchange programs, and P-3 is for those participating in culturally unique performances. P-4 visas are for dependents. The visa is valid for the duration of the event, competition, or performance, with possible extensions.
- H1B. The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations that require a bachelor’s degree or higher. Common fields include IT, engineering, finance, and healthcare. It’s initially valid for up to three years and can be extended to six. The visa is employer-specific, meaning workers can’t change jobs without a new petition. There’s an annual cap on H-1B visas, with some exemptions for universities and research institutions.
- H2A. The H-2A visa allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to fill temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. Employers must show that there aren’t enough U.S. workers available and that hiring foreign workers won’t harm domestic wages or conditions. The visa is generally valid for the duration of the agricultural season, up to one year. It can be extended in limited cases, but workers must maintain their temporary intent to return home.
- EB Visas. Employment-based (EB) visas are immigrant visas that allow foreign nationals to live and work permanently in the U.S. Each category requires a job offer or qualifying criteria, and they all lead to lawful permanent residence (a green card). They’re divided into five preference categories:
- EB-1: Priority workers with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors/researchers, or multinational executives.
- EB-2: Professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in arts, sciences, or business.
- EB-3: Skilled workers, professionals, and certain other workers.
- EB-4: “Special immigrants,” such as religious workers and certain U.S. government employees abroad.
- EB-5: Investors who create jobs in the U.S. through significant capital investment.
