With every state offering unique employment opportunities, working in the United States may be appealing to you.
In order to work in the United States, you must possess a valid US visa and maintain your status according to applicable eligibility requirements.

Have you been offered full-time employment in the US and is a trained professional in one of the professions listed in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)? If so, this Trade National (TN) visa might apply to you.
You may qualify for the TN visa if you are either a Canadian or Mexican citizen and you have a US job offer. The TN visa is also for families who are Canadian or Mexican citizens.
Are you a business owner who is looking to fill a role in your US organization? Apply today for the TN visa.
Do you work for a US company overseas, but want to be transferred to the same US company in a US location? If so, you may consider applying for the L-1A work visa.
Are you an individual with specialized knowledge? If so, the L-1B visa may be right for you.
Both the L-1A and L-1B visas apply to individuals, family members, business owners, and investors.
The L-1A and L-1B visa holders are employees working for companies outside the United States that have branches, subsidiaries, affiliates or joint venture partners in the United States.
This visa is for individuals, business owners, or family members who want to live and work temporarily in the United States and who are involved in the exchange, purchase or sale of goods/services or merchandise.
Have you achieved international prominence as a fashion model and have been given the opportunity to work temporarily in the US for a runway show, a fashion shoot, or similar?
The H-1B visa could be the right solution for you to see your dream come true.
Other specialty workers, such as US Department of Defense workers may also qualify for the H-1B visa. H-1B applies to individuals, family members, and businesses or business owners.
This temporary worker visa is for individuals, family members, and businesses or business owners.
Are you a skilled or unskilled worker who wants to work in the United States temporarily in a non-agricultural position? You may qualify for the H-2B visa.
If you have found your calling in religious work and wish to pursue temporary work, like preaching, in the United States, the R-1 temporary work visa will allow you to work within the US for a religious organization.
If you are lucky enough to have been born with extraordinary ability in the arts, sport, business, education, or the sciences, you may consider applying for one of the visas in the O-1 visa program.
If you are a unique individual that has been born with extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics and want to work temporarily in the US; consider applying for the O-1A visa. Family members and business owners may also be eligible for this visa.
If you are someone with extraordinary ability in the arts or extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and want to work temporarily in the US, you could achieve your dream by applying for an O-1B visa.
The O-2 visa is for the individual accompanying the O-1 visa holder to a specific event or performance on a temporary basis in the US.
This non-immigrant visa for temporary work in the United States may be given to individuals, an individual on a team, or to members in the entertainment industry who want to visit the US to compete, perform or promote themselves. There are two visas in this category: P-1A and P-1B.
Are you an internationally recognized individual athlete or sports team and have been invited to attend an athletic competition on a one-time basis in the US?
If you are, then the P-1A visa might be your best option for working in the US temporarily.
Are you fortunate enough to have been born with exceptional talent, enough so that you are a member of an entertainment group that has received international recognition?
If so, the P-1B visa may apply to you or your family members if you are in a group with two or more members.
Are you a performer in a group and want to enter the US to perform as part of a reciprocal exchange program between the US and an organization in your country? Find out more about the P-2 visa.
This employment-based visa is for individuals and family members who have an extraordinary ability, outstanding professors, researchers, multinational executives, and managers who want to reside in the US permanently.
The EB-1 does not require an employment offer but requires applicants to work in the US in their field of expertise.
This permanent work visa, the EB-2, may be appropriate for you, your family members, or for you as a business owner, if you have achieved success in your academics or you have exceptional ability and you have been offered a permanent employment position in the United States.
If you are dreaming of immigrating to the United States and you fit the criteria for a skilled worker, a professional, or an unskilled worker, you may be eligible for the EB-3 visa for permanent residence.
The United States offers many employment positions for individuals who are non-citizens of the US and want to move to the US on a permanent basis.
United States Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) classifies some individuals as ‘Special Immigrants’. If you are considered a special immigrant by USCIS, you may be eligible for the EB-4 special immigrant worker visa, which would allow you to live and work permanently in the US.

My Visa Source made the process of my partner’s PR a breeze. We did run into an issue in the beginning as my partner initially started his PR progress with the intent of going through his work to get his PR. There were some difficulties that ended up leading us into doing his PR through common-law sponsorship, which ended up being a blessing in disguise as we were appointed a new Lawyer & team.
Harley Jensen was very much on top of everything from quick replies to our emails and if we ran into any difficulties she would always set up a phone call to ease us through the process. There was another lovely lawyer by the name Natasha who was also helping us through some difficulties.
Overall My Visa Source made us feel confident and at ease during this very stressful process. We would like to thank the team for all their hard work. I would definitely recommend them.

Sharing my experience with MVS. This firm has truly reliable and dependable professionals, no wonder it has won so many awards and accolades. After my initial spouse work permit rejection, I approached MVS and I was assured they’d handle my case sensitively. Bara was very calm and informative, he initiated my process. My wife’s permit case was assigned to Sharon and Marc. ‘Sharon’ is very knowledgeable and precise, she was always reachable and was prompt on her responses during the process. Her follow ups on every step was phenomenal. Such a gem! I blindly recommend her.
Marc on the other hand was the heart of the process, shout out to him as well..
All my stress was washed out as every actions performed by them was promising. I was optimistic and finally received the permits, now I can reunite with my family in coming days.
Couldn’t praise enough. Wish you best to unite and bring happiness to more families like ours.
I wish to personally meet you all one day to thank for what you’ve done. You’ve changed my life.

I've had a very bad experience with an immigration lawyer at another firm in the past, and I was very scare to experience that again. I found My Visa Source online and decided to give them a try because of their great reviews, and I don't regret it for a second!. Amazing experience, they really treated me like a human being and were very upfront and organized with all information.
Angel Pavlou is really an angel, very sweet and helpful, she help us a lot on our first stage of the process with the firm. She is an amazing human being!
Because we were applying through common-in-law sponsorship, my team was Harley and Natasha, an amazing team! We worked for about 4-5 month on the file to make sure everything needed was there. And even though they usually respond within 2-3 business days, by the last portion before submission, our emails were responded by the minute, which we really appreciate as it helped to speed up the process significantly.
Even though our contract with the firm ended with the submission of our application, they left the door open for further questions we may have about what's coming next with our application, which is a big support for us, and we really appreciate (as now we have a long road ahead before a final answer from IRCC comes).
Thanks Team! :)

At first I was a bit wary because we had some challenges with our spousal sponsorship case and all correspondence was done over the phone or email, but now that my husband has been approved, I can say with confidence I would hire My Visa Source again for any immigration needs. My husband was not even asked for an interview in the end. This firm works many different nationalities and passport holders and there experience is vast.

After previously going to another immigration service it became glaringly obvious how great this service was. Angel was able to answer all my questions and share with me some options that I had not been told of by the other lawyer. I highly recommend this service.

This was a free consult call. I received the call exactly at the time arranged. Irfhan was very helpful, honest and informative. Unfortunately there weren’t many options for my case and he made no false promises. His integrity was impeccable and even though there wasn’t much that could be done he did offer some great suggestions and advice.
