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
P visa: Entertainers, artists, athletes
Q visa: International cultural exchange
R visa: Religious worker

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.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

At Meaders Law PLLC, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

"Grateful Beyond Words"
My family and I are forever grateful for Mrs Meaders and her hard work. I recently found myself in a dire situation and needed an immigration attorney who was going to fight for me. Mrs Meaders did that for me and more. I am so grateful that she kept lines of communication open with my family and answered all the questions we had in a timely and respectful manner. She is very knowledgeable and very helpful. My family hired Mrs Meaders and the very next day she went to work on my case. She was always honest and showed that she cared about my situation. (Our previous attorney lied and scammed my family out of money) I know from experience that Mrs Meaders will work hard for all her clients because she is passionate about her work. I am now able to obtain my citizenship after being told by one attorney that the best way he could “help” was to ask the judge for a voluntary departure. Also, because of Mrs Meaders’ hard work I have been reunited with my children and family. If you are needing an attorney who is going to work hard for you, who is professional and highly competent, Mrs Meaders is the attorney for you and she is the best!

"From Despair to Justice"
Mrs. Meaders graciously & passionately took on our family’s immigration & criminal case when all odds were against us. She was open & honest with all communication, never deterred us & worked diligently with the short amount of time she was given. After a nightmare of lies, deceit from a precious Dallas attorney, we truly believe Mrs. Meaders law firm was God sent to help us revive not only our faith in attorneys but help us fight to bring justice to our family member. She had such a short time to fight but that is exactly what she did…fight from the moment we reached out & didn’t stop until she reached her goal for us to see our cousin again. She was honest from the very beginning, no big promises just facts of what she will do & how hard she will work for us. She did exactly that, she communicated with us & with her client openly even if just to calm nerves or ease fear. To give so much for others like Mrs. Meaders has represents a beautiful human being with a passion to help in the hardest times of life. Mrs. Meaders will forever be part of our lives for helping us get through these darkest moments & showing us that there is light in these situations & she’s there to help you. We were told this case was beyond winning, just hope for voluntary deportation at its best. Mrs. Meaders did not give up, she won our family back along with the opportunity to gain citizenship & prove her worth all because she saw our family members worth. Our indebted appreciation to you Mrs. Meaders & your law firm always for your honesty, hard work & integrity. You gave Amalia a second chance! Thank you!!

"Confident, Skilled, and Victorious"
I had the honor of having Attorney Alexandria Meaders represent my husband in his case against ICE and let me just say, I was blown away! Her communication with me made me feel confident about the entire situation. She’s extremely educated and knows exactly what she is doing. Not only did she win my husband’s case but she got an even lower than expected bond for him!! Her confidence while representing my husband was such a sight to see. I will definitely come back to her if ever the situation calls for her expertise. I highly recommend attorney Meaders to anyone looking for strong and professional representation.

"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!
