Work Visa Overview

A temporary worker visa is a nonimmigrant visa for individuals who wish to work temporarily in the United States.  There are several categories ("classifications") of temporary worker visas.  Some of these classifications have annual limits. The applicant’s qualifications, type of work to be performed, and other factors determine what type of visa is required under U.S. immigration law.

My interim EAD experience

21 years ago By Chief Editor

Hi,



I want to share my interim EAD experience. I went to the local office on July 6 in Arlington,VA.



Well, I arrived at INS @ 7:15AM. There were like 250 to 300 people before me. By the time I got my EAD card it was 4:30PM. There is only one person that was helping issues related to work permits. Part of the reason for the delay was they closed early on july 2.



Anyways, be prepared to take day off (for those who are already occupied during the day) when you plan to go for your interim EAD.
