If you want to work in the U.S., you will need a work visa and to meet certain requirements.

  • A job offer from a U.S. employer
  • An approved petition (Form I-129) from your employer
  • The job must fit into a visa category (like H1B, L1, O1)
  • Proof of your qualifications
  • A valid passport and other documents
  • No serious criminal or immigration issues

Note: Your employer might also have to get a Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the U.S. Department of Labor.
