签证 【求助】美国工作签证

[charlyzm]

本人刚有个面试，公司问我有没有美国工作签证，不是旅游签证。因为公司有个项目在美国，需经常进出美国，公司担心持旅游签证，经常进出美国会引起怀疑，可能被拒入境，因此影响项目的进展。我来加拿大只有两年，还不是公民。请教各位，如何解决这个签证的问题？如果能解决这个问题，公司很有希望给我OFFER， 请大家多出主意，谢谢！

工作签证要公司出面帮你申请，怎么正好倒过来呢？

如果公司在美国有项目，可以用B-1来做项目。因为你来美工作，工资并不在美国发啊。但要是经常往来或长期在美国工作，那要他们在美国的公司给你申请H1工作签证。

多谢回复，“卡城一日游” 你的意思是，这个工作签证是公司给办，B1签证如公司去办的话，大概要多长的时间？我收搜B1签证，它好像只能是去开会或旅游，不能工作，这里有段话特别解释：
Doing Business - Using Your Visitors (B-1) Visa

Certain kinds of "business" related travel, is permitted using a B-1 visitor visa. The definition of "business" under immigration law is limited, and does not generally allow for gainful employment, labor for hire or productive activity such as operating a business or consultancy work. Specifically, in the applicable U.S. law the term "business" is limited to the negotiation of contracts, consultation with business associates, litigation, and participation in scientific, educational, professional or business conventions, conferences or seminars and other legitimate activities of a commercial or professional nature.

Persons entering the U.S. on a visitor visa, for business or tourism (B-1/B-2), or without a visa on the Visa Waiver Program are not permitted to work. If you are planning to work, or to attend certain training in the U.S., you cannot enter the U.S. with a visitor visa. Instead, you will need a visa in one of the employment categories for temporary workers
故B1是否合适？

另外我发现，还有另一选择：The B1 in lieu of an H1B
In certain, limited circumstances the US Consulate may issue an employment-authorized B1 visa where the work to be undertaken would usually require an H1B visa. This provision is particularly applicable to situations where you may need a non-US company to send a member of staff to the US for a limited period in order to undertake specific projects for you, or where you wish to bring in an employee of an overseas subsidiary, affiliate or parent for a limited period. The requirements for acquiring a B1 in lieu of H1B are:-

The work to be undertaken in the US must be H1B level – i.e. the worker must be engaged in a 'speciality occupation';
The worker must permanently employed (i.e. not a contractor) and paid by the employer outside the US;
The worker may receive no compensation other than expenses from a US source;
The worker must have a degree relevant to the services to be provided– there is no provision for work experience to be considered equivalent to adegree, as there is under the H1B.
The B1 in lieu of H-1 visa generally takes 1 to 2 weeks to obtain, and considerably more supporting documentation is required than for a normal B1 visa. Periods of admission and extension are the same as for the standard B1 visa (i.e. generally 6 months).
我不清楚到底选择那个？听说H1签证不容易申请，是不是哪么回事？请多指教。谢谢。

这位同志对美国工作和签证要求所知实在太少，建议现在网上google一下，看看美国签证相关介绍。实现给你说，h类的你基本上就不用考虑了。

话说回来，工作类的签证都需要公司方面出面的，如果你的公司都不懂这个，你去签证估计会在材料上出很大问题。

多谢“八爪大王”的指教，本人对美国签证是不了解。我想公司正是考虑到美国工作签证很难申请到，才提出这个问题。我应该如何对公司说？让他们减少这方面的顾虑，愿意去尝试呢。不知各位有否这方面的经验？

首先你得自己搞清楚你需要什么签证，不是所有到美国办公事的签证都很难。工作类的签证种类很多，你的只子片语，外人无从知晓你该选择哪种，现自己做功课再说。
