| How
do I apply for a work visa?
There is no such thing as a work visa. Some
visas allow you to work without any additional work authorization
from the INS.
For example H visa and L visa holders may work
for the employer who petitioned for them without applying for work
authorization. Other visa holders may not work at all for a US
employer. For example B Visa holders may not work for a US employer
and are not eligible to apply for work authorization.
Other kinds of visa holders are eligible to apply
for work authorization. For example, in some circumstances students
may receive permission to work from designated officials at their
school. In addition, those who have filed applications for green
cards may apply for work authorization. |
