Work visas are a gateway to numerous opportunities in the United States, allowing individuals to pursue employment and contribute to the country’s workforce. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can assist you in understanding the duration of your stay in the U.S. with your work visa. Our team aims to provide an overview of work visas, the opportunities they present and how we can help you navigate the complexities of determining the length of your stay.
A work visa is a legal document that permits individuals from foreign countries to work in the United States for a specified period. Different types of work visas cater to various employment scenarios and have distinct conditions and requirements that determine the maximum length of stay. Here, we will explore some common types of work visas and their respective durations.
The H-Visa is designated for temporary workers in specialty occupations. It allows immigrants to work in the U.S. for up to three years, with the possibility of extension for a total of six years. If the visa holder changes positions, they have 60 days to find a new job and apply for a change of status.
The L-Visa is designed for intracompany transferees, such as executives and managers being transferred to a U.S. affiliate company. With an extension, executives and managers can stay in the U.S. for a total of five to seven years, depending on if they applied for an L-1A or L-1B visa.
The O-Visa is reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in their field, whether it be sciences, arts, education, business, athletics or more. This visa permits an initial period of stay of up to three years, with the possibility of extensions based on the continuing need for the individual’s skills and services.
Apart from the type of visa, various other factors can influence how long an individual can stay in the U.S. on a work visa. Understanding these factors is crucial for maintaining legal status and planning your future in the United States.
The specific type of work visa you hold directly affects the duration of your stay. Each visa category has its regulations and limitations regarding how long you can work and reside in the U.S.
The role of your employer in sponsoring your visa cannot be overstated. Employer sponsorship is critical not only for obtaining the initial visa but also for any potential extensions. Employers must demonstrate the ongoing need for your role and your valuable contributions to their operations.
Adhering to immigration laws and regulations is essential for maintaining your legal status in the U.S. Any violations or non-compliance can jeopardize your ability to stay and work in the country. Regularly consulting with an immigration lawyer can ensure you remain in good standing and understand any changes in legislation that might affect your status.

Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Kevin Racia were the attorneys handling a complex immigration case of mine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the remarkable team of Khiabett Osuna, Brittani Rivera, and Rafael Rodriguez, who were responsible for the successful release from detention of one of our parishioners, husband and father of four, after over 10 weeks of incarceration.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time. I was in detention for 6 months, and thanks to her hard work and filing a habeas corpus petition, I was finally released. In addition, when I was released, ICE did not return my documents. Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
My aunt was recently detained by ICE and sent to El Paso, Texas to the East Montana Detention Facility. This place is essentially a prison in the middle of the desert, and the majority of the detainees here get deported. My family and I interviewed a dozen immigration attorneys around the country to help my aunt, and we decided to hire Kevin Raica, an attorney with Kriezelman Burton and Associates.…

He made sure every document was prepared correctly and took the time to explain each step clearly. Anytime I had questions, he responded promptly and made…
