Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Several work visa categories serve professionals in the Bellevue-Eastside tech corridor. The most common include the H-1B for specialty occupations, the TN for Canadian and Mexican citizens under the USMCA, the O-1 for individuals with extraordinary ability, and the L-1 for intracompany transfers. Each has distinct eligibility requirements, processing timelines, and strategic considerations. An attorney can help identify the pathway that best fits your qualifications and goals.

When employment ends, most work visa holders have a grace period — typically up to 60 days — to find a new employer, change status, or depart. The timeline and options vary by visa category. If you are within a grace period, acting promptly is critical to preserving your ability to remain and continue working in the United States.

The TN visa is available to citizens of Canada and Mexico in designated professional occupations under the USMCA. It offers significant advantages: no annual cap, no lottery, renewable three-year validity, and relatively efficient processing. Eligible Canadian citizens may apply directly at a U.S. port of entry with the required documentation. Mexican citizens generally apply through consular processing.

The O-1 visa is for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability or achievement in their field, including technology, sciences, business, and the arts. Qualification typically requires meeting at least three of eight evidentiary criteria, such as published material, original contributions, high compensation, or critical roles in distinguished organizations. There is no annual cap.

PERM is the Department of Labor process by which an employer certifies that no qualified U.S. workers are available for a position at the offered wage. It involves a prevailing wage determination, prescribed recruitment steps, and a DOL application. PERM certification is required for most EB-2 and EB-3 employer-sponsored green card petitions. Current processing times are extended, and early planning is recommended.
