Starting a professional career in the United States opens doors to new opportunities, allowing individuals globally to advance their careers and pursue their aspirations. Yet, obtaining the right work visa involves navigating a complex landscape of choices, rules, and documentation requirements. At D’Alessio Law Group, we’re dedicated to simplifying this process for you. Our team provides tailored guidance and careful document management, ensuring your visa application is handled efficiently and paving the way for your success in the U.S.
Types of Work Visas
TN-Visas (NAFTA Professionals)
TN-Visas offer a unique pathway for Canadian and Mexican citizens to engage in professional work in the United States under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). These visas are tailored for individuals in designated professions such as engineering, architecture, and various medical and educational fields. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate that they possess the necessary credentials relevant to their profession, typically a degree or professional license. The TN status facilitates easier and quicker border crossings for approved professionals. At D’Alessio Law Group, we assist clients in compiling and presenting their qualifications effectively to leverage the benefits of the TN visa program.
L-Visas (Intra-company Transferees)
L-Visas are designated for intra-company transferees who are being relocated to the U.S. to work at an affiliated office of their current employer. This category includes L-1A visas for managers and executives and L-1B visas for employees with specialized knowledge. To qualify, applicants must have been employed with the company outside the U.S. for at least one continuous year within the preceding three years. These visas allow for a strategic movement of key personnel within global companies, fostering international business relations and operations. At D’Alessio Law Group, we guide businesses and their employees through the application process, ensuring that all criteria are met to facilitate successful transfers.
R-Visas (Religious Workers)
R-Visas are specifically tailored for religious workers who intend to work in the United States in a religious capacity. This visa category is open to ministers, priests, rabbis, as well as other workers performing religious functions within recognized non-profit religious organizations. Applicants must prove that they have been a member of their religious denomination for at least two years before applying and that their work in the U.S. will be in their religious vocation. The R-Visa enables these religious workers to live and work in the U.S. temporarily. At D’Alessio Law Group, we assist applicants in gathering the necessary documentation and proof of their religious commitments to ensure compliance and facilitate their visa approvals.
