Did You Come to Omaha on a Professional Visa?

Note: This article is not legal advice.

You might have already done the paperwork to get a work visa, and a company in this city has already hired you. Therefore, you know that migrating to Omaha as a professional is possible! But do you know that foreign professionals who come to Omaha have many advantages since the city can offer jobs that fit various professional profiles?

The first, and most important thing, is to have the backup of an American company. A company is the one that grants the sponsorship and everything related to the work visa procedures.

There are visa alternatives for professionals in the United States, either because you come to work temporarily, as a permanent worker, student, exchange student, or just for temporary visits for business reasons.

Work visas allow you to bring your family and open the possibility for your spouse to get a job. Although this only applies to certain visa classifications, so, consulting a specialized lawyer is recommended.

Whatever the category of visa you have, temporary (non-migrant) or permanent, you have to consider accommodation, primarily if the company does not provide it and you have to look for it on your own. Castro Realty Group is your best option!

Below are the temporary and permanent work visas. Find the one you have.
