Lawyers Helping Performers, Scientists, and Teachers Obtain Nonimmigrant Visas in Shelby County

The United States provides many opportunities for people to work and earn an income. However, before foreign citizens can come to the U.S. to work, they must obtain a temporary work visa. While a number of visas exist for specialty and seasonal workers, there are also visas available for those with “extraordinary abilities.” If you fall into this category, Douglass & Runger, Attorneys at Law, can help you understand your best options for applying and obtaining the visa that applies to your situation.
