Common questions
What are the main work visa categories?
H-1B for specialty occupations, L-1 for intracompany transfers, O-1 for extraordinary ability, TN for certain professionals from Canada and Mexico, among others.
Does my employer have to sponsor me?
For most work visas, yes — the employer petitions on your behalf and must meet wage and recruitment requirements. Some categories allow self-petitioning.
What if my work visa application is denied?
Options depend on the reason: refile with stronger evidence, appeal, or consider an alternative visa category. An attorney can assess which path fits.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the denial or receipt notices, your passport and current status documents, the job offer, and your education and work credentials.
