What other visa categories apply to foreign employees seeking to work in the United States?
There are a variety of visa options available depending upon the skills and qualifications of the foreign applicant and the location, needs and industry of the U.S. employer. For example, employees transferring here from a foreign-based company may find the L-1 visa category preferable if the employee has worked abroad for the company for a continuous period of at least one year during the preceding three years.
