Many people dream of travelling and staying in the United States of America, because it's the land of opportunities. If you wish to stay in the USA, you should think carefully about what you will make for it. Are you planning to simply stay for a few years or you want to make it your second home country forever? is it your company that sends you there or is sipmly that you are looking for a job there or do you want to start a business in the USA?
It is possible, in some cases, to enter in the USA without a visa but you can stay there only for 90 days. Beyond that, almost all the professional situations are subjected to various types of visas. H1-B-Visa is the most frequent work visa and is delivered only to the people in possession of a university degree or in possession of comparable qualifications.
On the other hand, there are special visas for the less qualified workers or for certain occupations such as: farm workers, teaching labourers, etc. If your company sends you, you have to make an application for another visa, just like a person who wants to start a business, etc. It is imperative then that you know, in advance, the type of application which you have to make.
The workers who were not sent by their company need a concrete job offer. Then, the US employer has to supply to the US Department of Labour the proof that he cannot find an American employee holding the same qualifications. It is only after this that you can make your working visa application. Furthermore, the USA have a very restrictive system of preferences regarding the delivery of working visas.
If you overcame these obstacles and managed to obtain a visa, you will get finally a work permit and a residence permit too. The visa H1-B, will give the right to a residence permit, which will expire after 6 years. Other visas concerning other occupations are sometimes subjected to a different period of validity. After the deadline, you can apply for an extension of your residence permit and work permit or the green card.
