Arbeitserlaubnis-Kategorien, Voraussetzungen, Sponsoring, Antragsschritte und Bearbeitungszeiten.
Work visas are petitioned through USCIS (the employer usually files Form I-129) and issued by the Department of State at a US consulate. Common categories include H-1B (specialty occupation), L-1 (intracompany transfer) and O-1 (extraordinary ability).
- Most employment-based visas require an employer petition approved by USCIS before the consular visa interview.
- The H-1B category is subject to an annual numerical cap and a registration/lottery process.
- Some categories (e.g. H-1B, PERM green cards) require a Department of Labor certification step.
