These four are the most common and highly demanded visas. However there are many similarities among them but knowing about each certainly helps to choose the best one.
H-1B visa has been the most popular long term work visa in the United States . From its accessibility to its lengthy initial period of stay, it’s easy to see why so many foreign professionals apply to reap the H-1B visa benefits each year. In short H-1B is designed for those who wish to have more flexibility for their Job which includes Engineers, IT and Science.
H-2B visa is specifically designed for seasonal workers. The visa allows employers or agents to bring subjects from foreign nations to the US to fill temporary jobs which is open to both skilled and unskilled workers including Entertainers, Counselors, and home attendants for terminally ill patients, ski instructors and business trainers. This Visa is certainly helpful for people who want to start their journey from scratch.
L-1 visa also known as the intra-company transfer visa is a non-immigrant is a category that is designed to allow multinational companies to transfer their employers from foreign branches to locations within U.S. In short L-1 is more appropriate for those who work for multinational companies.
J-1 visa is a non-immigrant (temporary) visa issued to foreign nationals who in tend to participate in an approved exchange visitor J-1 program in U.S. This visa is available to those who want to Teach, Study, Conduct research, or Demonstrate special skills.
