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.

"First Choice and Best Choice"
Alexandra was the first immigration lawyer I went with and would recommend her to anyone! I worked with them for two years. They were honest with their work and accurate with their time frames.

"Very impressed!"
I have hired many attorneys over the years both for my business and personally for legal matters, and hands down Alexandra Meaders is the most professional, knowledgeable, and persistent lawyer I have worked with. I recently had a family matter that required a criminal lawyer at 10 pm on a weeknight and she returned my call immediately, gave me expert legal advice, and handled my issue within minutes. Very impressed!

The firm has treated us with so much respect and great confidence. We had several meetings throughout our 4 month process & bilingual assistance helped us a lot. So much stress Pero La Abogada Alexandra Meaders gave us faith, hope, & that confidence every family needs through tough times. She was professional in all the categories throughout our process. She answered all our questions. There were many scenarios that could of happened, but our family member was released from Immigration in 1 day which was a blessing. We were in relief & so excited from the news. The 4 month process went smooth with the high determination she has on her JOB. She communicated with the client before & after court dates. There is not enough words to D=describe her commitment and confidence she has for her clents. I would highly recommend this firm to all. Thank you so much :) #Blessed

"Exceptional and Professional"
Alexandra Meaders at MEADERS Law is an exceptional attorney. I had a very good experience with her and my case and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing her services or consultation. She takes pride in her office staff being very professional and helpful regarding my case. I’m very appreciative of her and her hard work.

- M. C.
"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.
"Professional & capable attorney"
Alexandra is a good, professional, and capable attorney. We had to petition to reopen our Green Card case, and thus far its gone well. Alexandra and her office are efficient, caring, and easy to work with. They have been thorough with our case which is what you need when dealing with the USCIS!
