Work Visa Overview
A temporary worker visa is a nonimmigrant visa for individuals who wish to work temporarily in the United States. There are several categories ("classifications") of temporary worker visas. Some of these classifications have annual limits. The applicant’s qualifications, type of work to be performed, and other factors determine what type of visa is required under U.S. immigration law.
Below is a summary of these visas. For more information on any of them, click on the visa title or on the menu to the left.
The DREAM Act
Introduced in the US Congress (both Senate and House) on March 26, 2009 the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (The "DREAM Act") is a long projected immigration bill.
