Where can you work with a visiting visa as a Nigerian?

As a Nigerian citizen, if you’re looking to work temporarily in the United States, you would typically need to apply for a nonimmigrant visa that allows for employment, such as the H-1B visa for specialty occupation workers or the L-1 visa for intracompany transferees.

The visitor visa (B-1/B-2) does not permit employment in the United States. It is intended for temporary visits for tourism, business, or medical treatment. While individuals on a visitor visa may engage in certain business activities, such as attending meetings, conferences, or negotiating contracts, they are not allowed to engage in gainful employment.

If you’re specifically seeking opportunities to work in the United States, you would need to explore employment-based visa options like the H-1B or L-1 visa, which typically require sponsorship from a U.S. employer. It’s important to carefully review the eligibility criteria and requirements for each visa category and work with an immigration attorney or advisor to navigate the application process.
