Employment-Based Visa Categories: Find What Fits Your Skills
The U.S. offers a range of employment-based visa categories to accommodate professionals, skilled workers, investors, and more. Each category serves a unique purpose and has specific eligibility criteria.
Here are some of the main employment-based visa categories:
- H-1B Visa: Designed for professionals in specialty occupations, it allows skilled individuals to work temporarily in the U.S. and is often pursued by tech professionals, engineers, and healthcare workers.
- L-1 Visa: Ideal for intracompany transferees, it enables multinational companies to transfer key employees to their U.S. offices, fostering international business operations.
- EB-5 Visa: For investors looking to create jobs and invest a significant amount of capital in a new commercial enterprise, the EB-5 program offers a pathway to lawful permanent residency.
- O-1 Visa: For individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in fields such as science, arts, education, business, or athletics, it is highly sought after by top-tier professionals.
- TN Visa: Under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), it permits Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the U.S. in specific professional occupations.
- E-2 Visa: Investors from treaty countries can use it to develop and manage businesses in the U.S. This visa is suitable for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
These are just a few of the employment-based visa options available. The right choice depends on your qualifications, job offer, and career goals. Our San Diego work-based immigration lawyers can assess your situation and guide you toward the most suitable employment-based visa category.

After consulting with other attorneys about my case I was told that my criminal/immigration case was extremely complexed. I was turned down by several other attorneys that would not take on my case. I was facing deportation without eligibility for any waivers. After many sleepless nights I came across Rodriguez LawFirm and I am glad I did!! John was very honest, and truthful but also very compassionate. After speaking with John my very first time, I felt like there was hope for my case. John Rodriguez and his team are extremely professional, and effective. John fought for me and my family with a relentless passion and conviction. John kept me well informed walking with me through the whole process. In fact there were several of weekend nights that he would call to update me on my case. He always kept me feeling positive. I believe John Rodriguez is living out his calling in changing immigrant families lives and futures.He was able to vacate my criminal case. His hard work and dedication has made it possible for me to apply for my U.S citizenship and keep my family together. I am forever grateful to John Rodriguez and his team!!Claudio C.

John, we cannot thank you and all of your team enough for the assistance you firm provided us. Olavo, Susan, Valeria, and you ensured all required requested documents for the processing of E.L and my fiance visa were collected and timely sent to USCIS. Within less than two weeks of submitting our response to the USCIS our case was approved and sent on to the NVC. I could not have asked for a better group of professionals to work with to get us through to the next stage in the process. We cannot thank you enough and look forward to meeting you and your team someday when we visit San Diego.RK & EL

It’s amazing! I’m glad I chose to call Rodriguez Law Firm and have Mr. John Rodriguez work on my DUI case while other lawyers had told me it wasn’t going to be possible and that I could be facing deportation due to that fact that I’m a DACA Recipient so I had little hopes considering this DUI was with a crash and an alcohol percent of .23 and DACA as well, But yet with the help of Mr. Rodriguez and how he was able to negotiate things he managed to get a wet wreck less which was something that I’m extremely pleased with, thanks to him it won’t affect my DACA and I have a second chance to do things right. I would highly recommend Rodriguez Law Firm they’re outstanding at what they do.J. M.

Attorney John Rodriguez is a persistent lawyer who is dedicated to fighting your case to get you the best possible outcome. He certainly did for me! He called me at 11:30 pm on a Friday night to give me an update. I do not think there is another lawyer out there who would do this. I could not have received a better outcome in my case. After working with John and his team, I know that I made the best choice for myself. Should I need immigration or criminal representation in the future, John is the first person I would be calling. I cannot thank you enough John for your professionalism and dedication in fighting and helping win my case.S. K.
