Reviewing the different types of work visas

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, people employed in a variety of occupations come to work in the U.S. Some people take on work in Louisiana as a non-immigrant worker on a temporary basis, while others relocate permanently as an immigrant worker. In Baton Rouge, and all over the state, it is crucial for workers from all backgrounds to familiarize themselves with the employment immigration process and carefully plan ahead. For those who experience any problems in the U.S., reviewing their rights is paramount.

The U.S. Department of State outlined the various work visas that are available for immigrants and non-immigrants. For example, a non-immigrant who has a background in a line of work which requires very particular skills may qualify for an H-1B visa, while agricultural workers employed on a temporary basis could receive an H-2A visa. However, there are additional visas available to temporary workers from diverse backgrounds, such as B-1 visas for athletes, R visas for religious workers and P visas for artists, among others.

People who permanently relocate to the U.S. may obtain a visa sponsored by their employer, such as an E-1, E-2 or E-3 visa, to name a few. Regardless of the exact type of visa that someone receives, it is essential for them to make sure that their rights are not trampled upon while they are moving to America or during their employment. Furthermore, it is vital for those who are facing immigration-related hardships, such as deportation, to examine all options at once.
