Temporary worker visa (H/L/O/P)：印度 → 美国
Indian citizens coming to work temporarily in the US need a temporary worker visa — your prospective employer must first file and get USCIS approval of a Form I-129 petition, then you complete the DS-160 and attend an interview at the US embassy or consulate where you live.
US nonimmigrant temporary worker visa (including H, L, O and P categories) for foreign citizens coming to work in the United States, based on an employer petition approved by USCIS.

何时开始办理
建议在出行前 45 天 至 3 个月 开始办理。
A citizen of a foreign country who wishes to work in the United States must first get the right visa.
Before you can apply for a temporary worker visa, USCIS must first approve the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Form I-129, which your prospective employer files on your behalf.
You may apply for a visa when USCIS has approved your petition. Complete Form DS-160 online and upload your photo.
Book an interview at any US Embassy or Consulate where you live; wait times vary, so apply early.

温馨提示
- Most applicants for temporary worker visas must have an approved petition. The prospective employer must file the petition on behalf of the applicant.
- A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port-of-entry have authority to permit or deny admission to the United States.
