• Commonest Work visas for US – H-1B, L visas.
• Process of applying work visas -  Through the process of filing a petition.  The largest categories of working visas (including H, L visas) require petitions to be filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)(formerly the INS), by a company or organization in the United States.  A petition is the process by which the INS determines that you meet the basic qualifications for a particular visa. For example, it is through the petition process that the USCIS determines you have the educational background or its equivalent to qualify as an H-1B "skilled worker". Petitions cannot be filed with the Consulate, they must be filed in the U.S.
• The US consulate is required to be informed in case of any individual on a work visa changes a job while in the US.
• The H1B Visa Program is the official and primary USA work visa / work permit. The US Government introduced the H1B visa to offer and enable highly skilled International Professionals and/or International Students, from all over the World, the opportunity to live and work in the USA.
• The H1B is the most sought after US visa and the Immigration Bureau requires 'every' foreign national to obtain a visa in order to legally work in America.
• To obtain an H1B Visa, there is a process that you are required to follow:-
  
  Step 1 - you must first find an H1B Job with a U.S. Employer (know as your sponsor)
  
  Step 2 - your Employer (sponsor) files your H1B Application with the US Government
  
  Step 3 - US Government approves your H1B Application
  
  Step 4 - you can start work in the USA for your new employer
  
  * Important Note: individuals can NOT sponsor or apply for their own H1B visa.
•  An H1B visa is typically valid for up to six (6) years and entitles your spouse (husband/wife) and children to accompany you and live in America.
  one of the main advantages of the H1B visa is that it is a 'dual intent' visa which means that you can apply for a Green Card (Legal Permanent Residency).
