Types of Visas for Immigrants to the United States• There are many types of visas that might be sought by someone who wants to visit or move to the United States. The first step, therefore, is to know and understand the type of visa that would best serve the needs of the applicant.

There are ways for employers to bring those workers to America through the immigration visa process. These workers might include professionals with advanced degrees or with exceptional abilities, for example, although there are additional categories.

For most employment based immigration visas, an employer must first apply for and receive a labor certification from the Department of Labor.

The Bottom Line on Visa Types

It often isn't easy to decide which type of visa to pursue, and it is often even more difficult to apply for and receive one. The services of a competent immigration law firm should therefore be seriously considered by anyone who intends to seek an immigrant or a nonimmigrant visa to come to America.
