Temporary Work Options for Global Talent
The U.S. offers a range of non-immigrant (temporary) work visas that allow foreign nationals to live and work in the United States for a limited period, usually in connection with a specific job, assignment, or area of expertise. At the Law Offices of Kelly H. Bu, we regularly assist professionals, entrepreneurs, performers, and businesses in obtaining these visas efficiently and strategically.
Non-Immigrant vs. Employment-Based Immigration
Unlike employment-based green cards (such as EB-1A, EB-2, or EB-3), which offer permanent residency, non-immigrant work visas are temporary and tied to a specific employer, project, or category of work. These visas are ideal for those who:
-
Want to work in the U.S. on a short-term or project basis
-
Are being transferred within a multinational company
-
Possess extraordinary talent in a specialized field
-
Need a faster entry to the U.S. before pursuing a green card
Many non-immigrant visa holders eventually apply for permanent residency, and our firm is well-versed in planning long-term strategies that begin with temporary work authorization.
