For assistance with this process, contact a Houston temporary employment visa lawyer. The seasoned employment-based immigration attorneys at J. Lopez Law have the knowledge and experience needed to help you find the right visa. Although the application process can be long and tedious, our attorneys could represent you with patience and understanding.
J. Lopez Law helps professionals and companies apply for temporary employment visas, including TN, L1, O, P, and E1/E2 categories. Each option applies to different situations, and the right fit depends on your background, the type of work you do, and how long you plan to be in the United States.
A TN visa is open to Canadian and Mexican professionals in certain occupations, while L1 visas allow international businesses to transfer executives, managers, and specialized employees to U.S. offices. O visas are for individuals who possess extraordinary ability in their field, and P visas cover athletes, entertainers, and their support teams. Traders and investors from treaty countries may qualify for E1 or E2 visas.
The application process is detailed and often demanding. An experienced lawyer at J. Lopez Law could guide you through each step and help you present the strongest possible case.
Workers located outside of the United States will apply for their visa at a U.S Embassy or Consulate and seek admission with Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A knowledgeable attorney at J. Lopez Law could explain how the process may differ if you are a worker already in the United States applying for either of these visas.
Temporary employment visas also require employer sponsorship, meaning your employer must file a petition to the USCIS before you can apply to be a temporary employee.
For more information on how employer sponsorship affects your application, reach out to a Houston attorney experienced in handling temporary employment visas. Timing is essential to the visa application process, and our lawyers can determine how long you should expect your application to take.

A Houston attorney could evaluate your situation during an initial consultation to determine what kind of temporary employment visa applies to your work.
Most temporary employment visas also provide entry into the United States to an applicant’s family members. For TN, L1, O, P, and E2/E1 employment visas, spouses and unmarried children can apply for dependent status to join the primary applicant in the United States after the main application has been filed.
