One of the fastest ways to move permanently in the United States is to have a potential job in an American company and the right to work in that country. However, obtaining a work visa in the United States is also fraught with certain difficulties and has its own pitfalls, which you should be aware of even before you start preparing the documents for departure.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to go to America for work, you must have an invitation from an American employer. In this case, the main difficulties associated with the paperwork fall on the shoulders of the inviting party, that is, the future American boss.
Step 2
An H-18 work visa entitles a foreign citizen to reside in the United States and legally work in any professional field. As a rule, this visa is issued immediately for a period of 3 years, during which a foreigner can freely enter and leave the United States many times. After three years, the visa can be extended for a period of up to 6 years, if the applicant has an official job.
Step 3
To obtain a work visa, it does not matter whether the future employer is an individual or a legal entity. An invitation can come from both a company and a private person who is ready to hire you. The employer, in turn, must first obtain a permit from the Federal Labor Department to employ a foreign citizen. To do this, he will have to prove the uniqueness of this foreign specialist and the impossibility of replacing the workplace with local candidates.
Step 4
To obtain a visa, you will need graduation certificates or professional certificates confirming your qualifications. The only exceptions here are professional models, from which diplomas are not required. But they must prove their fame and level of professionalism through publications in the press, work experience in large modeling agencies, as well as the presence of world recognition and prizes received from famous fashion designers and designers.
Step 5
The very process of obtaining a work visa takes place in two consecutive stages. First, the future employer submits a package of documents to the Federal Labor Department, from which it follows that he is ready to hire you and agrees to pay a salary comparable to those in the given labor area. In addition, the documents substantiate the need for his company to invite a foreign specialist. After the approval of the submitted documents by the department, the prospective employee must apply for a visa at the American consulate located in his country of residence.
Step 6
In some cases, a work visa can be obtained while already in the United States. To do this, you will have to provide the same information and the same documents that can confirm your professional qualifications and level of education.
