We receive many questions regarding how to get a work visa while you are actually living in Pakistan. Getting a work visa while you are living abroad is very difficult due to ongoing recession. Residents and Citizens of USA are losing their jobs due to Economic crisis. The first priority of the government is to employee those people.
On the other hand for private companies; they easily find people according to their requirement as thousands of people from all over the world come for studying and most of them settle in USA. The only way with which you might be able to get a work visa is that if you are employed by a company in Pakistan who sends their employees to USA to meet clients or work on their behalf in their USA office, they are issued with L visa and does not get paid as high as people in USA are.
The other type of people who might be able to get a work visa it through their relatives, if you have any relative who is a citizen and a businessman then he can help you for issuance of work visa for himself however it also involves lots of steps and legal requirements.
I do not want to disappoint you however it’s better if you know the clear picture. Internationals who has completed their studies in USA are also finding it difficult to get a job and I do not personally know any individual who is hired by a company outside USA.
If you want to settle in USA, work hard and get yourself admitted in any of the University for further studies.
+ Getting a work visa in Pakistan means that there is a company in United States that is ready to sponsor you a work visa so you can come and work in Unites States. Such work visa is mostly H1 visa. Normally if your company send you to United States to work then you normally get a L1 visa which is as good as H1 visa.
+ To get a work visa you need a company that can sponsor you for which you need a job. If you know someone who is running a business and can sponsor you a work visa so you can work in United States then its easy however if you do not know anyone then it all depends upon your qualifications and skills.
+ Mostly people who get H1 visa while they are in Pakistan are either Engineers or Doctors. Software engineers are in demand too however competition is tough so you have to be good at what you do. You can also have some other technical skills including specialty cook etc.
+ If you don’t have any technical knowledge or education then chances are weak. United States is dealing with high unemployment rates now a days and their preference is to get them jobs first before sponsoring any international work visa’s for categories like marketing, customer services, accounting, finance, clerical work etc.

It depends upon which visa you are applying for, for visit visa the fee is $140 and for immigrant visas please follow the below mentioned link for fee details
http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/immigrant-fees.html
@Hassan – No, he can’t sponsor you until he is a citizen. Once he is a citizen he can only sponsor his parents, or any brother or sisters less than 21 year of age.
I completed degre from pakistan university !! Can i able to get work visa in usa ??
Yes, If any company is ready to sponsor you H-Visa (Work visa) only then. You will have to search job in United States and ask the company to sponsor you work visa.
Hi, I have done MBA HR from Pakistan.. is it possible to get a HR job in USA .. and can you tell the H1 sponsor company if any one you can recommend or tell the website where i could easily find these type of companies..
Last year i was apply us visit visa & that was refused.
I want to go us only want to meet my kids.
Can i apply again after 6 months?
plz guide me.
I will b thankfull.
REGARDS
Yes you can apply for the visa again however you need to keep in mind the reason of refusal last time. If the reason no longer prevail then its fruitful and you might get accepted otherwise if everything is same then your visa might get rejected again.
They refuse very few people who wants to go and meet their kids. Do let me know if you need to know anything else.
off course you can apply the visa again.what did they tell you last time when you were refused?

i have done masters in economics from fatima jinnah women university can i get work permit for usa if how can u help me
Hello Rabia, Unfortunately I cannot help you getting a work permit as it can be applied by a company that would want to hire you and its cost is very high so mostly companies are reluctant to hire people that needs work visa, they give preference to people who can work in United States. Thousands of students in United States search for jobs after completing their studies and only if a company is ready to offer them H visa (work) they can work, otherwise they have to go back to their country. There are almost no chances that a company will issue a work visa to someone living in Pakistan with Pakistani education. The people who might get visa this way normally have set of technical skills like an IT person or a trained Chef etc.
salam sir meri girl friend usa me he aor wo muje waha le jana chahty he par wo yaha pakistan nahe aasakty darti he to ab hume kiya karna chahiye plz give us a batter way

http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/marrying-a-man-in-united-states-how-difficult-it-is-to-get-a-visa/
I think its better to get citizenship first as I have some few cases where it took 3 years for a spouse to reach USA and meanwhile they don’t allow them to even visit on visit visa however consult an attorney for complete details.

Sir,
Can a govt. university in usa hire some professionals from pakistan. and if yes, what will be the procedure.
Dear Irfan, yes it possible however they usually offer jobs to people who get education from United States because the competition in United States is tough. Procedure is the same to look for the jobs online, you can also check university websites, they have a section of “Careers” where they post jobs. In my opinion unless a person posses any technical or rare knowledge its difficult to get a job from overseas.
A.o.A sir,
Hope you are doing wel! I’m happy and apreciate your this spirit you are helping peoples like this.
Actually i need some assitent from you too, there are a Hotel manager in west virgenia (US) whos my best friend through Internit. she said i will hire you in their hotel and its easy for me. so if she hire me then how will i get to there. what will be the visa requirements in the way in case she give hire in her hotel???
Thanks
W.Salam,
Thank you for appreciation. If she is hiring you as an employee then most of the work is done from her side, she will give you a paper on the basis of which you will apply for the work visa most probably H1, that’s it. Once you get your visa stamped on your passport you will be able to travel.
hello sir…i wanted to ask u that my sister is a US citizen,she has got her nationality..she owns her store over there..and shez serving US military as well…she needs some1 to handle her store..so can she sponcer me or my husband for her store purpose?plz i really need to know this as its very important for me..thanx
Dear Hareem, its possible for her to sponsor a work visa however there are some condition about the level of her business, how many employees she already have and why do she need to sponsor an international? She must show the strong need and that your skills are not available in United States. Please go through the following link for complete relevant details

Dear Fahad not sure how it will weigh your application, if you can get some invitation letters from universities stating that you wanted to visit them as a prospect student it would be better than verbally stating the reason.
I have a old green card which does not have a expiration date also has a social security card plus expired driving license, I want to go back to USA what should I do, should I apply for visa, what type, please guide thanks. It has been more than 20 years that I have travelled to USA. Can I travel on my old green card, should I apply for a new green card. Thanks
Dear Ahmed, I am not very familiar with your options however what I know is that if you have spent 6 months outside states with your green card then you cannot enter in States using that same green card, I have found a useful link you can see if it carries any specific information.

Hi,
Have a good day, and very much inspired with your comments in a shape of assistance,
my query is that my first cousin live in USA and her’s all family members are citizens of US for last 10 years. They want to invite me there for my bright future but i don’t know how and what path is right to choose in this regard.
I just want to work there , my cousin’s husband is working in US multinational for last 15 years and have strong PR. Kindly guide me for my future growth in the light of my given details.
Yours’ cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
May you send me your assistance on my email, its really help me to find easily.
Best Regards,
Dear Tauseef, Thanks for appreciating my effort. You can apply for a visit visa and visit your family and try to find a jon that will offer you a work visa (h1) sponsorship, even if you have work authorization you would still need to come back to Pakistan to get your H1 visa stamped on your passport. Its very difficult to get a visit visa for adult male because of Pakistan reputation and people staying in USA illegally however its worth trying.
meri khala usa mai hai or mai 17yrs ka ho meri khala mujhe waha bulana chati hai magar wo apne husba nd ki waja se meri mada nahi kr sakti documation mai . mai ne matric a grade mai kya hai or ab mai aga khan higher secondary school mai 1st yr k paper de raha ho kya mai visa k liye apply kr sakta hoo agar apna khala ka naam le k agar embassy wale kuch sawal puchay toh thank u plz reply me fast.
Dear Usman,
aap ki khala apko wahan nahi bula saktien sirf agar wahan app pohanch jatay hain to apki help kar sakti hain. Agar app agay education k liye jana chahtay ho to ye bata don k BA wahan bohat hi zyada mehanga hai, sirf aik saal ki college ki fees 5 se 10 lakh tak ho sakti hai or apko study visa k liye bank statement bhi dikhani parti hai. Agar app early education Pakistan main hasil karo to behtar hai, koshish karo computer parho or bachelors k baad bohat chances hain apko free main kisi university main admission mil jaye.
Sir mujhe bahir jana hai toh mai abhi nahi jasakta
HELLO,
Sir i want to a work visa beacuse Pakistan does not give me a good job i have 3 children plz give me a work visa i shall be very thank full to you.

Dear Arman, He cannot sponsor you any visa, not even a visit visa. Only if he has a business and he need to hire someone from Pakistan then he can sponsor a work visa.
Hi
Firstly, I would like to appreciate your efforts.
Sir thanks for reply……Sir un k wahan apny 2 general stores hain or wo mujhy wahan py set krna chahty hn….to kindly ap mujhy inform kr dain k kia mai is trha ja sakta hun k ni ??? agar han to plzzzzzz ap process bta dain…..I m vry thankful to you….
Dear Arman,
Sorry for late reply. Agar unka general store hai to wo aap ko job k liye bula saktay hain but uskay rules kuch sakht hotay hain, apkay pass koi esi qabiliyat honi chahye jo USA main aram se nahi milti. Ye apkay uncle better bata saktay hain, unko kisi wakeel se baat karni chahye. Agar unka business hai to koi tareeqa nikal sakta hia ke wo apko wahan job pe rakhwa sakain.
Thanks
Hi There,
Firstly, I would like to appreciate your efforts.
How long does it take to get US green card , my application for citizenship is submitted 3 years back thru my brother whose an American National. And if the sponsor/brother is healthy tax payer in US then does it make additional benefit to get the work done early then estimated time.
Best Regards,
Dear Rehan, Thanks for appreciating my efforts, it really means a lot. Regarding the sponsorship by your brother, no one knows about the tentative time but I think it can take around 10 years, may be more depending upon the economic condition of United States or may be less if the economy revive and they need more people to settle in United States.
Dear sir
I am highly impressed with your assistance that you are providing
I have also I question that There is my friend In Topeka we met by social network she is American , she has her farms there and she need me as caretaker of those forms because I am her friend and I need to work in US for better income, what would be your suggestion for her and me so I can go there for work
Regards
Khawar
Thanks for appreciating Khawar. the information you need is in this link http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html please study it in detail to see if she can offer you a job.
Dear sir I am a ungraduated student and I like to go US for further study and my uncle and my cousin are there from about 15 years and how I can apply for US .
Its better to complete your undergraduate and apply for admission in Masters in Universities in United States. If you are planning to stay at your uncle’s place during your study look for the universities near his place. If you are doing engineering or IT there are chances that you will get funding and your Masters fee will be paid of by the university if you are a bright student. For further information read this post, it will be helpful.

plz tell me how much money is needed for visit vissa and after how many days i can go to usa after submiting the application
You can go when you will get visa and money also depends on how many days you are going to stay there and where you are going to stay there. As a hotel rent may differ in different places..
AOA Bro,sir kia main multyple visit visa per USA main work kar sakta hon? or kia muje
6 months baad lazmi pakistan ana pere ga or agar na aon tu kia problems ho sakti hain,by the way mera mamoon USA main hai last 14 years se wo is maslay main koi madad kar sakta hai meri. hope you will response thanks
Regards
No you cannot legally work on visit visa in United States. Yes, Apko 6 months baad apko lazmi Pakistan ana paray ga warna apka stay wahan par illegal ho jaye ga or ainda kabhi bhi apko USA ka visa nahi milay ga, na hi apko kabhi wahan legal status milay ga. Mamo sirf aik soorat main apki madad kar saktay hain, agar unka koi business hai or wo apko nokri par rakh sakain, but us main kafi kharcha aa sakta hai unka.
I NEED WORK PERMIT SO PLZ.I AM WEATING YOUR ANS….. GOD B USA
I just provide information not visas
I want to ask that
How much one could have to spend to sponsor a person for a job in his business in USA?
Its not only about money, the sponsor has to justify that why he can’t find a suitable person for that job in United States, its only easy for jobs that are either technical or related to any talent not easily available in United States like Pakistani chef would be needed in a Pakistani restaurant. Its not that you can get any number of workers from Pakistan that you desire specially those who have no skills or education.
Hi I am serving in the U.S Army in Afghanistan, and I work with a dozen or so Pakistani Nationals on a large base, I spend most of my time with them and they are all great people who are just trying to support their families back home. A couple of them have expressed a deep interest in finding jobs in the U.S. They have many skills and speak many languages but have no college degree. Is there any way this is possible for them to beable to find work here, and what kind of work would be their best bet?
Thank you for your kind intentions. Work visa can only be sponsored by organizations hiring people and they too have to follow strict rules on what type of talent they can import into United States. If a person has special talent or if he is highly educated in a technical field etc then he have chance.
Thanks
i need free work visa for us plz hilp me i m very thankfull to you .
Work visa can’t be purchased or issued for free, you need a job to get a visa. Look for a JOB in USA and if they like you, they will issue you a work visa for free.
