How to Apply for A Temporary Working Visa

• Temporary working visas are given to people who
  wish to work in the United States, but who are
  not considered permanent or indefinite visitors.
  The process by which foreigners can apply for
  temporary work visas is relatively long and
  complicated, and the process and associated fees
  can vary from country to country. In all cases,
  however, the worker's prospective employer must
  file a petition to the U.S. Citizenship and
  Immigration Services department, after which the
  worker can complete the visa application form.

4
Early Steps

• First, the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker
  must be filed on behalf of the potential visa
  recipient by a certified company operating within
  the United States. The company may also have to
  obtain a labor certification on the worker's
  behalf in order for the process to move forward.
• The petition is filed using Form I-129, provided
  on the website of the USCIS. In some cases, there
  may be a numerical limit on the number of
  petitions approved every year. When the petition
  is approved, the United States government will
  send the petitioning employer a notice of action,
  which ushers in the next phase of the process.

Visa Application Steps

• The visa application can be completed online, and
  the forms are all readily accessible at the USCIS
  web page. Applicants must supply detailed
  personal information about themselves as well as
  a photo with precise measurements and
  requirements. Then, applicants must schedule an
  interview with an agent of the U.S. government to
  determine whether or not they are fit for entry
  into the country.
• Although children and the elderly often are not
  forced to interview, the vast majority of
  applicants from ages 14 to 79 will have to
  schedule a formal meeting at the U.S. embassy or
  consulate.

Fees And Documentation

• Most applicants must pay a visa application fee
  prior to their interview that varies in amount
  depending on their country of nationality and
  origin. A few may even have to pay a visa
  issuance fee after the visa is properly approved.
  It is extremely important to provide the
  interviewer with all of the correct documentation
  at the interview -- any missing document could be
  grounds for rejection of the application.
  Applicants will need their
• Passport
• Fee payment receipt(s)
• Approved petition receipt(s) or number
• Photo
• Completed non-immigrant visa application (or
  confirmation page if online)

Fees And Documentation (Continue)

• Further documentation may be required in certain
  cases -- this and any other extenuating
  circumstances will be determined and thoroughly
  explained at the interview. Digital fingerprint
  scans may also be taken at the interview, but
  after the interview is over, the hardest part of
  the process begins
