Temporary Work Visa Attorney in Dallas

Committed to Helping You Work in the U.S.

Temporary worker visas grant individuals from other countries the opportunity to work in the U.S. for a fixed period of time for a particular employer. In order to apply for a temporary work visa, a prospective employer must submit a Form I-129 on behalf of the nonimmigrant worker. Only when this petition is approved by the USCIS may the individual proceed with the application process.

The temporary work visa attorney at Meaders Law in Dallas is committed to providing opportunities for people desiring to work in the U.S. If you need assistance in obtaining a temporary work visa, you can count on us to provide you with a reliable service.

What Type of Temporary Work Visa Do I Need?

There are several categories of temporary work visas for the U.S. It is important to apply for the correct one.

The types of work visas available in the United States are:

H visa: Temporary workers or trainees - Most common: H-1B visa.
L visa: Transfers within a company - Most common: L-1 Visa.
O visa: Persons with extraordinary ability

Who Qualifies for an H-1B Visa?

In order to qualify for an H1B, the individual must have a U.S. bachelor’s degree or an equivalent of it in the field that they will be hired for. If a license is a mandatory requirement for the position, the prospective employee must also have it.

Aside from the individual’s qualifications, the circumstances for the open position must be a certain way. The U.S. employer must be able to prove that foreign workers are needed and that the work cannot be done by U.S. citizens because they are either not available or not qualified.

Temporary Religious Worker

Since this could end up being a very broad route of access for many people into the United States, there have been clear stipulations placed on what qualifies as a temporary religious worker.

A temporary religious worker must:

Work an average minimum of 20 hours per week
Work as a minister or in a religious occupation or vocation in the U.S.
Be employed by a nonprofit religious organization in the U.S.
Be a member of the denomination of the organization for whom you plan to work, for a minimum of 2 years prior to the organization filing a petition on your behalf

L-Visas

An L visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows multinational companies to transfer employees from their foreign operations to their U.S. operations for temporary periods. There are two types of L visas: L-1A visas for executives and managers, and L-1B visas for employees with specialized knowledge.

To qualify for an L visa, the following requirements must be met:

Employer-Employee Relationship: The U.S. employer must have a qualifying relationship with a foreign company, such as a parent company, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate.

Executive or Managerial Capacity: To qualify for an L-1A visa, the employee must be employed in an executive or managerial capacity, which involves managing a major function or department of the company.

Job Offer in the U.S.: The U.S. employer must offer the employee a job in the U.S. in the same or similar capacity as their foreign employment.

Duration of Stay: The L visa is initially granted for up to three years for new U.S. companies and up to five years for existing U.S. companies. Extensions may be granted for a total stay of up to seven years for L-1A visa holders, and up to five years for L-1B visa holders.

Intent to Depart the U.S.: The employee must intend to depart the U.S. when their L visa expires.

Qualifying Relationship: Foreign and U.S. companies must have a qualifying relationship, such as a parent-subsidiary, branch office, or affiliate relationship.

"Above and Beyond Service"
My experience with Meaders Law has been amazing! These ladies will go above and beyond to help you with your needs, and not to mention how knowledgeable and professional they are. I recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney, it was a pleasure working with them!

- E. G.
"Excellent Support Every Step"
Meaders Law was able to help my husband and I through his immigration process swiftly and with great care and knowledge. Alexandra was quick and effective, and her staff was amazing at getting back to us on any questions promptly. Definitely recommend!

- A. B.
"Thank you"
I had the pleasure of working with Alexandria at the prestigious trial lawyers college in Wyoming. It was there that I saw firsthand her dedication to her craft and her clients. I have referred many clients to her and to date have received no complaints. Alexandria is as smart as she is beautiful and I would trust her with my family’s immigration.

- B. B.
"Devoted to her casework"
Extremely pleased with Alexandra Meaders. It is very clear she is devoted to her casework and really cares about her clients. I would highly recommend reaching out to Alexandra and her team.

- D. V.
"Fought Hard, Delivered More"
In short - I will forever recommend Mrs Meaders and her law firm staff! ... Mrs Meaders very recently was a significant part in the big blessing that our family received. Our family member's situation was a hard one, a case that most attorneys couldn't handle - but Mrs Meaders did. She did what most believed was impossible. We hoped for one outcome and came out with so much more. Mrs Meaders is full of passion for what she does, is extremely knowledgeable, and has such an amazing and inspiring personality ready to fight for her clients. Having dealt with an attorney prior to Mrs Meaders that destroyed us mentally and emotionally, Mrs Meaders was truly God sent. She took the time to really review every single piece of our case yet worked diligently, making positive moves in the case in a short period of time. Her love for her clients and families is a gift in itself. She and her staff offer such great patience and communication and will never make you feel rushed or misunderstood. Mrs Meaders and her staff always responded to every and any questions or concerns promptly, professionally, and genuinely. Mrs Meaders and her staff will never be forgotten and will forever be appreciated for accomplishing what seemed so impossible. Our family members case consisted of an immigration and criminal case combined. We were told multiple times that our only option was a voluntary departure if she was even granted that avenue. Mrs Meaders fought both cases and our family member not only returned back home to us, but came back in a position where she is not only able to retain her residency but is now also able to obtain her citizenship. Mrs Meaders is one amazing human being and attorney. Through her hard work and dedication, God has restored and reunited our family. Thank you Mrs Alexandra Meaders and law firm...FOR EVERYTHING!

"Gifted Attorney!"
Alexandra is a gifted attorney with a demonstrated history of obtaining positive results for clients. My opinion is based on both personal and professional experience. Professionally, Alexandra and I met during law school almost four years ago. Upon meeting her, I was impressed with her language skills, cultural fluency, and professional demeanor. These skills served well then and now. These natural abilities allowed her firm to grow into the successful practice it is today. From a personal standpoint, she was there to assist when I called for her opinion regarding my girlfriend's visa issue. As a corporate attorney, I lacked the subject matter expertise and needed someone with experience on such matters.. We discussed the matter in detail based off my initial research. Again, I was impressed with her ability to navigate the complex areas of law with ease. She was up to date on all changes in the law and the best courses of action. It is evident Alexandra is a seasoned attorney with the know-how to get results.

- J. P.
"Passionate Attorney"
Alexandra is genuinely passionate about immigration and criminal law. Her career, accolades, and educational background speak volumes. She truly does care about the people she serves and is worth the time for you to set up a consultation.

- P. M.
"Went above & beyond"
Alexandra passionately works to defend and protect her clients, often going above and beyond what is required. I have personally witnessed this. I saw her put everything on the line to defend a client who needed her help. And she works extremely hard. She is always prepared. She knows immigration proceedings and litigation up and down. Strongly recommend her to someone looking for an immigration attorney.
