With a reputation rapidly spreading throughout the U.S., BPA Immigration Lawyers puts its depth of legal expertise and commitment to exceptional client service in the hands of employers, workers, and families looking to confidently navigate the temporary visa system.
We understand that behind every visa is a future that deserves protection, dignity, and success. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure you benefit from our network of legal professional’s care and strategic foresight.
What Is a Temporary Work Visa?
If you’re a global company transferring key talent to the United States, a professional offered a job by a U.S. employer, or an individual with extraordinary ability in your field, temporary work visas offer a crucial pathway to live and work in the U.S. lawfully.
Temporary work visas (also known as nonimmigrant employment visas) allow foreign nationals to enter and work in the United States for a limited period under specific terms. Each visa category has unique eligibility rules, sponsorship requirements, and permitted activities. Our role at BPA is to make the process as seamless and secure as possible, from the first offer of employment to visa issuance and maintenance of lawful status while in the U.S.
