Employment Visas

Home/H-3 Visa

H-3 Visa

The H-3 Visa is designed for individuals seeking training in the U.S. to advance their future careers. There are two primary ways to apply for an H-3 Visa:

  • As a trainee: You can be eligible for training in various fields related to your future profession, with the exception of graduate medical training.
  • As a special education exchange visitor: You can be eligible for training specifically focused on the education of children with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities.

Beware that this is NOT an employment visa, but a training visa that will lead to employment in the future outside of the United States.

  • The exchange visitor must have a baccalaureate or higher degree program in his/her area of special education expertise or must be expecting to complete them soon.
  • If the exchange visitor does not have a baccalaureate or higher degree diploma, then he/she must provide other prior training and teaching experience(s) with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities children.

There are individuals applying for H-3 Visa through special education, and exchange visitors. The number of people admitted to the exchange visitor category is currently 50
The maximum length of stay for trainees is 2, and special education exchange visitors is 1.5 years.
No. Your family accompanying you as dependents cannot seek employment in the U.S. on H-4 status.
