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.
