What is the process for filing an application for an E visa?

In Kansas, the process of filing for an E visa is relatively straightforward. First, you must prepay any required filing fees, which can be paid to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Additionally, you must submit a completed Form I-129, which is a petition for a nonimmigrant worker, as well as a supporting documentation package. This package must include a copy of your passport, a labor condition from the Department of Labor if necessary, a statement of purpose, and evidence that you have the necessary qualifications and experience to take up the role. Once this is done, the USCIS will review the application and may ask for an interview. During the interview, you may be asked to provide detailed information about the role you’re applying for, your qualifications, and how you plan on fulfilling the job. If the USCIS approves the application, they will issue an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that allows you to enter and work in the United States for a specific period of time. You can then use the EAD to apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy. Once your visa is approved, you may proceed to travel to the United States. The duration of the visa typically matches the duration of the EAD.

Para solicitar una visa de E, la persona titular deberá presentar una solicitud ante una oficina de Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS). El solicitante deberá completar un Formulario I-129, Solicitud de Petition de Nonimmigrant Worker. El formulario debe estar acompañado de la documentación necesaria para el tipo de visa solicitado. Dicha documentación incluye un contrato de trabajo, cartas patentes o un contrato entre el empleador y el empleador. El solicitante también debe presentar una prueba de que es un trabajador extranjero calificado. Esto incluirá documentación sobre la educación, experiencia laboral y habilidades técnicas necesarias para el trabajo. Después de presentar la solicitud y la documentación asociada, USCIS revisará la solicitud para asegurarse de que los requisitos son cumplidos. Si la solicitud es aprobada, USCIS enviará una tarjeta de aprobación de nonimmigrant al solicitante. Esta tarjeta de aprobación autoriza al solicitante a viajar al país de empleo. Una vez en el país, el solicitante presentará la tarjeta de aprobación al Departamento de Estado para adquirir la Visa de Nonimmigrant. Tenga en cuenta que las solicitudes de Visa de E son procesadas en el país de origen del solicitante. Por lo tanto, el solicitante deberá presentar su solicitud ante la embajada o el consulado de Estados Unidos en su país. El proceso de solicitud y aprobación toma aproximadamente dos a seis semanas para completarse.
