Frequently asked questions
Short answers to common questions about US employment routes and MaViAl vacancies.
Does a job listing guarantee a US visa or work authorization?
No. A job listing or CV review does not guarantee selection, a petition approval, visa issuance, admission to the United States or employment authorization.
Which US work visa routes are employer-led?
H-1B, H-2A, H-2B and L-1 depend on a qualifying petitioner and category-specific requirements. O-1 also requires a qualifying petitioner, such as a US employer or US agent.
What is H-2A used for?
H-2A is for temporary or seasonal agricultural employment when the required US Department of Labor and USCIS procedures are completed.
What is H-2B used for?
H-2B is for temporary non-agricultural employment when the employer establishes a qualifying temporary need and completes the required labor-certification and petition process.
What is required for L-1?
L-1 requires a qualifying relationship between the foreign and US organizations and qualifying employment abroad, generally at least one continuous year within the preceding three years.
Who can file an O-1 petition?
An O-1 petition may be filed by a US employer or US agent; a foreign employer may use a US agent. The beneficiary cannot self-petition.
How much is the petition-based temporary worker visa application fee?
The US Department of State lists a USD 205 nonimmigrant visa application processing fee for petition-based H, L and O visa categories. Reciprocity or issuance fees may also apply.
