Abogada de Inmigración l Lorena Rivas #inmigracion
In this short segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about whether someone who entered the United States on a seasonal H‑2A visa can obtain a work permit that allows them to stay and work without leaving the country. She explains that the H‑2A visa does not grant a pathway to remain permanently; the individual must change to a different visa category that is sponsored by an employer or another sponsor. Only then can they pursue a more permanent solution such as a green card. She emphasizes that work visas and work permits provide temporary authorization to work while an application for a more permanent status is pending, but they do not confer permanent legal status.

No. Debes cambiar a otro tipo de visa que sea patrocinada por tu patrón u otra persona, y así podrás gestionar una residencia permanente. Los visados de trabajo y los permisos de trabajo solo otorgan autorización temporal mientras esperas una solicitud más permanente.
