H-3 Trainee Visa
H-3 Trainee Visa General Information: The United States issues H-3 Temporary Trainee Visas to
foreign nationals who wish to come to the United States for on-the-job training
provided by an American company. H-3 Trainee Visa holders are allowed
to work only for the company that is providing the training, and employment
should only play a minor role in the program. The main objective should be the
training, not the actual work. H-3 Temporary Trainee Visas are usually issued for
the duration of the training program (up to 2 years). Extensions may be granted,
but within the 2-year limit.
H-3 Trainee Visa Eligibility Requirements and Restrictions:
The following programs qualify for H-3 Temporary Trainee Visas: agriculture, technology, finance, communications, government, and almost any other fields, except for medical
training programs. There are other H-3 Trainee Visa restrictions, including that the training
program is not available in the applicant's home country and that the training
will benefit the applicant in pursuing a career and obtaining employment in
the applicant's home country.
H-3 Trainee Visa Additional Information: There is no annual cap on the number of H-3 Temporary Trainee Visas that can be issued. Spouses and unmarried children under
21 years of age of H-3 Visa holders are eligible for H-4 Visas. Dependents may
remain in the United States, travel in and out of the country, but are not
allowed to work on H-4 Visa status.
