H3 Trainee Visa

The H-3 Trainee Visa allows individuals to come to the U.S. to receive instruction and training from a United States company that would otherwise be unavailable to them in their home country.

The H-3 visa is also suitable for those persons looking to participate in a special education training program for the education of children with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities in the United States, valid for up to 18 months.

To be eligible for a H3 Visa, applicants must show that:

• They will not be placed in a position which is in the normal operation of the business and in which citizens and resident workers are regularly employed

• The beneficiary will not engage in productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training; and

• The training will benefit the applicant in pursuing a career outside the United States.

• They will not be receiving graduate medical education or training in the United States.

H-3 visa holders may work but any employment must be incidental to training and only with the petitioner through whom the status was obtained.
