Applicants should be aware that obtaining a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. The officer at the port of entry has the authority to deny admission, even if the applicant holds a valid visa. Additionally, the officer at the port of entry, rather than the consular officer, determines the period for which the bearer of a temporary work visa is authorized to remain in the U.S. Upon arrival, officials issue Form I-94, Record of Arrival-Departure, which specifies the length of stay permitted. It’s important to note that the decision to grant or deny an extension of stay is made solely by USCIS.
U.S. law mandates that companies employ only individuals who are legally authorized to work in the United States, whether they are U.S. citizens or foreign nationals with proper authorization. This diverse workforce is a key contributor to the vibrancy and strength of the U.S. economy, though it also attracts unauthorized employment. E-Verify, an Internet-based system, enables businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
