Work Visa / Canada Work Visa
The H1B Visa is one of the most common ways to work in the United States. It is a visa that must be applied for on behalf of a specialist employee by an employer. Because the visa is only granted to specialists, applicants must have at least a Bachelor's degree and come from fields such as IT, finance, architecture, medicine, science, and so on. Gradfest assists employers in submitting H1B petitions for their employees. We also assist employees from all over the world in being hired by companies that are likely to sponsor them for an H1B visa.
The H1B Visa is one of the most difficult visas to obtain. Due to the annual visa cap, there is a high demand for this visa from US employers. Furthermore, because it leads to a Green Card, it is one of the best visas for applying to work in the United States.

A non-immigrant dependent visa is an H4 visa. The visa does not grant you permanent residency, but it does allow you to live, study, and work in the United States.
Who is eligible ?
The validity of the H4 visa
The validity of the visa is determined by the visa of the sponsor, also known as the principal applicant. The spouse or parent with the H visa usually sponsors the visa. When the sponsor's visa expires, the H4 visa becomes invalid.

Documents required for application
The L-1A Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by the United States. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issue this visa to foreign directors or managers who are being transferred to their company's U.S. offices. International companies that do not have affiliated offices in the United States may use an L-1A visa to send a manager or executive to establish one there.
The L-1A visa is one of two work visa categories in the L-1 visa category. Its equivalent, the L-1B visa, is for employees with advanced skills who wish to work in the United States for a period of five years. Upon expiration, the applicant may reapply for L-1 visa holder status only after working for the organization's parent, subsidiary, branch, or affiliate for at least one year outside the United States.
Requirements :
An L1 visa has two main requirements: employer requirements and employee requirements.
Employer Requirements :
A qualifying relationship must exist between the employer in the United States and the applicant's international branch/subsidiary/affiliate. This indicates that the two organizations are linked in some way through ownership or association.
Furthermore, the employer must be conducting business in the United States and at least one other country during the visa holder's stay in the United States.
Employee Requirements :
With an L1 visa, the applicant must have worked for the international employer for at least one year in the three years preceding their admission to the United States.
This employment must have been in an administrative, corporate, or technical field, and their future jobs in the United States must be in the same fields.
L1A Visa to Green Card :
Because an L1A visa applicant qualifies for an EB-1C Green Card, obtaining a green card is relatively simple. This does not necessitate a PERM Labor Certificate, which reduces the processing time by up to 8 months.
To qualify for the green card, the employer only needs to file an I-140 petition. If the applicant is accepted, he must file for a status adjustment (Form I-485).
L2 visas are also referred to as L1 dependent visas. Spouses and dependents of L1 visa holders are eligible for the L2 visa. L2 visas are non-immigrant visas.
L2 visa holders can :
