US Work Visas

There is no such thing as an American "work permit." However, several options exist for employers wanting to employ a foreign national worker and for immigrants and nonimmigrants wanting to apply for work visa in the U.S. The following three classes of individuals are permitted to obtain work visa in the U.S.:

Foreign nationals authorized to work incident to their immigration status
Foreign nationals permitted to work for a specific employer incident to their immigration status
Foreign nationals eligible for employment authorization, but who must first obtain permission from the government in the form of an Employment Authorization Document (EAD)

The LL.M. Law Group understands that obtaining a U.S. work visa can sometimes be difficult, particularly since the various classes of foreign nationals who have or may have employment authorization in the United States do not follow the same procedure in order to obtain the authorization, nor do they receive the same kinds of documents to establish authorization.
