Immigrants can get permission to travel, work, or be reunited with a loved one or to marry an American citizen. But no matter what draws a foreign national to the U.S., before they can enter they must get authorization. Immigrants can gain entry through an employment visa, or a family-based visa.

Employment Visa

The two main categories of employment visas are temporary (nonimmigrant) and permanent (immigrant). The type of employment visa an immigrant applies is dependent on level of education and the duration of their stay the U.S. Work visas are limited to immigrants who are sponsored by an employer.

These work visas are valid for a short time to immigrants with varying skills and education. Temporary visas are commonly granted for work in the agricultural and hospitality industries. Common types of temporary work visas are H-1B visas, H-2A visas which are granted for seasonal work on U.S. farms, and the H-2B visa, which is issued for seasonal work at hotels, resorts and amusement parks.

Temporary work visas are valid for a limited time.

Permanent work visas

Immigrants who would like to remain in Colorado for the long term can apply for a permanent work visa. Typically, permanent work visas, which are also immigrant visas, are issued to persons with exceptional skills in fields such as the arts, business, education, and science. A permanent (immigrant) visa holder can apply for a legal permanent residency immediately, but they must be sponsored by an U.S. employer.
