The J1 visa is a great option for people who want to visit the United States. This visa allows you to gain experience by receiving on-the-job training, teaching, or conducting research.
The J1 visa allows foreign nationals to visit the United States to participate in programs performing as:
an au pair, camp counsellor, college or university student, government visitor, intern, international visitor, physician, professor, research scholar, secondary school student, short-term scholar, specialist, summer work travel, teacher or trainee.
- The J1 allows foreign nationals to gain experience. You can work in a wide range of fields. The J1 provides an opportunity for foreign nationals to improve their English. You can also learn about American culture and learn relevant career skills. Also, Most programs under the J1 visa allow dependents (unmarried children under the age of 21 and your spouse) to come with you with J2 status. There are 15 different categories covered by the J1 visa. Some visas are limited to certain nationalities or specified jobs

The TN Visa is a non-immigrant visa classification available to citizens of Canada and Mexico. With a TN Visa, you can live and work in the United States for extended periods of time. The TN classification permits you to work in the USA for up to 3 years initially and can be extended over and over without limit.
To qualify for a TN visa, you must work in the USA in one of the professions on the list of TN occupations (these professions are listed down below). You must also satisfy the educational standards and credentials required for the profession you will work in.
TN stands for Trade NAFTA. The TN visa is based on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Treaty.
With a TN visa, your spouse and children are eligible for TD status. With TD status your spouse and children cannot work but they can go to school.
With a TN visa, you can initially stay in the USA for up to 3 years. There is also no limit to the number of times you can extend your TN status. So through the TN classification, you may be eligible to lawfully live and work in the USA for several years.
The TN visa classification does not require your US employer to get an approved Labor Certification. A Labor Certification certifies that the US employer was unable to find a suitable US worker to fill the position that they are hiring you for. To get a TN visa, your US employer does not need to get an approved Labor Certification. They can skip this process and just offer you a job.
Canadians are not required to get a TN Visa. Instead, they can apply for TN classification directly at a US Port of Entry (we will discuss this in more detail down below).
With a TN visa, your spouse and children may also be eligible for TD classification. With TD classification, they cannot work in the US but they can go to US schools.
The H-1B visa is a work permit that allows foreign workers to go to the United States and work for American companies. The foreigner must specifically work in a field that requires specialised knowledge, for which the employer cannot find a US-based worker.
When applying for an H-1B visa, the applicant is sponsored by the American company that has hired them. The employer pays the visa fees and submits the required paperwork on behalf of the applicant.
The H-1B is a temporary (nonimmigrant) visa category that allows employers to petition for highly educated foreign professionals to work in “specialty occupations” that require at least a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent.
The H1B1 category was created by the Free Trade Agreements signed with Chile and Singapore in 2003. The 6,800 available H1B1 visas each fiscal year can be an excellent alternative to the H1B visa for citizens of those countries. These visas are deducted from the 65,000 H1B visas that are available worldwide each year. The requirements for the H1B1 are largely identical to those of the H1B.
- here is no requirement that a petition first be filed with the USCIS. Chileans and Singaporeans may apply directly at a U.S. consulate for an H1B1 visa. A petition may be filed with the USCIS to change status to H1B1, or to extend H1B1 status.
- H1B1 status is generally granted in one-year increments, and may be extended.
- The H1B1 classification is available to some applicants who would not otherwise qualify for an H1B visa because they do not possess bachelors’ degrees or the equivalent: Chilean citizens who are offered employment as agricultural managers or physical therapists, and Singaporean and Chilean citizens who are offered employment as disaster relief claims adjusters or management consultants.
- As with the H1B visa, a labor condition application (LCA), certified by the U.S. Department of Labor, is required.
- The spouse and minor children of an H1B1 employee are authorized to live in the United States in H-4 status, and to study, but are not permitted to work.
- Unlike H1B and L visas, H1B1 visas are not considered dual intent visas. Therefore, a person in H1B1 status, who files for permanent residence (commonly referred to as a “green card”) may endanger his/her continued H1B1 status.
The E3 visa is a visa designed specifically for Australian citizens who will perform a “specialty occupation” in the United States.
In order to obtain an E3 visa, you must:
- be a citizen of Australia or an Australian national,
- have a job offer that requires a bachelor’s level degree,
- have a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent level degree, and
- the required professional license if the position requires a professional license.
An E3 status visa is valid for up to 2 years and can be renewed indefinitely as needed. The dependent spouses and children of any and all E3 visa holders obtain E3D status. Understand that this visa is widely available as the annual numerical limitation on this visa, or the allowed number of annual visas of 10,500, has never been reached.
- here is no requirement that a petition first be filed with the USCIS. Chileans and Singaporeans may apply directly at a U.S. consulate for an H1B1 visa. A petition may be filed with the USCIS to change status to H1B1, or to extend H1B1 status.
- H1B1 status is generally granted in one-year increments, and may be extended.
- The H1B1 classification is available to some applicants who would not otherwise qualify for an H1B visa because they do not possess bachelors’ degrees or the equivalent: Chilean citizens who are offered employment as agricultural managers or physical therapists, and Singaporean and Chilean citizens who are offered employment as disaster relief claims adjusters or management consultants.
- As with the H1B visa, a labor condition application (LCA), certified by the U.S. Department of Labor, is required.
- The spouse and minor children of an H1B1 employee are authorized to live in the United States in H-4 status, and to study, but are not permitted to work.
- Unlike H1B and L visas, H1B1 visas are not considered dual intent visas. Therefore, a person in H1B1 status, who files for permanent residence (commonly referred to as a “green card”) may endanger his/her continued H1B1 status.
The EB3 visa grants permanent residency (a green card) to qualified individuals. You may be eligible for an EB3 visa if you a skilled workers, unskilled worker, or professional. You can submit an EB3 visa application at any time. The EB3 visa, like most green cards, is valid for 10 years. You can renew the visa if needed at that point. Please contact us by email to help you with the details! Send us an email to info@visatoamerica.com or send us a message in our live chat.
The EB3 visa gives qualified individuals permanent resident status in the United States. There are many benefits to being a permanent resident. Some of these include having the ability to change employers and to travel more freely.
The EB3 visa has less strict requirements than either the EB1 or the EB2 visas. This means that some people who may not qualify for these other visas may be eligible for the EB3 visa.
Under the EB3 visa, your spouse and any dependent children can come with you. Dependent children are any unmarried children of yours under the age of 21. While in the United States, your children can attend school and your spouse, after completing their Employment Authorization Documents or obtaining their green card, can work.
The EB3 visa is open to professionals, skilled workers, and unskilled workers. Professionals are those with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent who will be working in a job where a bachelor’s degree is the norm. You may not use experience or other education as a substitute for this degree. Skilled workers are those with at least 2 years of job training or experience. Unskilled workers are those performing jobs that require less than 2 years of training. Additionally, these jobs must be permanent in nature.
In order for your EB3 visa to be approved, you must not hurt any American workers. This means that you cannot take a job that an American worker could and would do. For this reason, you must have an approved labor certification to prove you meet this qualification.
A US employer willing to sponsor the beneficiary must have extended a valid job offer to the foreign national. The US employer must be able to prove there are no American workers who could and would do the job. This is shown through the labor certification. The US employer must have a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary. This means that the employer must be able to pay and supervise the beneficiary.
