U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states that Temporary Worker Visas are for persons who want to enter the United States for employment lasting a fixed time, only temporary and not considered permanent, with no path to immigration. Each of these visas requires the prospective U.S. employer not the worker to first file a petition with the USCIS. For more information review the USCIS web page, “Temporary (Nonimmigrant) Workers”, which includes details on available Temporary (Nonimmigrant) Worker Classifications!
