• Temporary (Nonimmigrant) Worker: This visa enables a visitor to the country to perform a specific job or activity for a limited period of time.
• Permanent (Immigrant) Worker: This visa enables an immigrant to live and work in the United States indefinitely.
• Student or Exchange Visitor: This visa enables students or visitors to work in the United States, provided they have obtained permission from a designated school official.

Authorization Information for Employees

As an employer, you must confirm that foreign employees are authorized to work in the United States. Some may be automatically approved due to their immigration status. Others may need to apply individually for employment authorization.
