H-3 VISA

The H-3 category applies to an alien coming temporarily to receive training from an employer in any field other than graduate education or training. There is no numerical limit to the number of H3 visas issued every year. The H-3 visa is valid for the period required to complete the training, but not to exceed two years.

• Enter the U.S. and obtain training in a professional capacity for a temporary period
• Travel in and out of the U.S. or remain in the U.S. continuously during the validity of the H-3 visa
• Bring dependent spouse and unmarried children under 21 on H-4 visa
  

The petition should be filed by the U.S. employer with:

• A detailed description of the training program, including the number of classroom hours per week and the number of hours of on-the-job training per week.
• A summary of the prior training and experience of each alien in the petition.
• An explanation of why the training is required, whether similar training is available in the alien's country, how the training will benefit the alien in pursuing a career abroad, what benefits the employer will derive from the training, and why the employer will incur the cost of providing the training without significant productive labor from the trainee(s).
• H-3 Special education training program.
  

The H-3 classification also applies to an alien coming temporarily to participate in a special education training program in the education of children with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities.
