Visa for Training in a Program (H-3) for the U.S.

One more U.S work visa category is the H-3 or the Trainee or Special Education visitor. This kind of permit is for foreign citizens who desire to go to the U.S for a definite period to take training or special education. The H-3 visa provides its owner with the right to arrive in the country and join the favoured training organisation that admits them. The key condition to obtain this permit is that the candidate should register in a training program which is not offered in their home nation. The training package cannot be a full academic gradation or medical training but should be applied programs which prepare the candidate with more innovative skills. The candidate must obtain this new knowledge and expertise and show that they will return to their home state and apply them. The training program must form it possible for the candidate to progress in their profession.

There are two sorts of programs which meet the requirements for the H-3 visa:

• Training program: The training program can be in any arena of education with the exemption of medicinal careers and training. Examples of grounds which meet the requirements for training programs are:
  • Economics
  • Finance
  • Transport
  • Agronomy
  • Infrastructures
  • Communication
  • Management
  • Business, etc.
• Special education: The special education specifies that the candidate will register in a speculative or applied program to progress their knowledge about children with special needs such as:
  • Physical needs
  • Psychological challenges
  • Emotional challenges

An H-3 permit does not consent its owner to work in the U.S. The candidate can only involve in applied work that is a segment of the program of the training curricula. But, they cannot participate into any job agreement that is appraised formal employment in the U.S. To get a job, claimants would require other kinds of permits such as H-1B visa, H-2A visa, H-2B visa, etc. The H-3 visa has a partial number that the U.S government permits each year. Out of all the candidates, the U.S government allow permission to only fifty people from other nations to arrive the U.S with this permit.

To meet the requirements for an H-3 visa, the candidate should fulfil a few conditions:

• There should be an official offer for the candidate from the training organisation
• The candidate could not avail the curricula in their home nation
• The training program does not include medical exercise
• The candidate aims to go back to their home state after the training program is completed
• The training or specialised education curricula will help the candidate’s profession
• The candidate will not have full-time work in the U.S with the exclusion of work forecast in the training program

Subsequently, the organisation where the training will take place should offer the candidate for the candidate to meet the requirements for the permit. They must also gather a full description of the training event. This description should cover the ensuing:

• The program and structure of the training program
• The time when lectures should be apprehended, and if appropriate, when and how many hours of hands-on work are important
• The financial and other aids that the organisation receives by organising that definite sort of training
• The category of professions and occupations that will advantage from the training event
• The grants that the candidate will obtain from the training curricula
• The motives as to why this training program does not occur in the candidate’s home nation

This explanation must be forwarded to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as a segment of the application procedure.

Similar to the other H sort of visas, the H-3 visa cannot be started by the candidate. Instead, the candidate needs to find suitable training curricula and apply to be admitted. The organisation where the training event is being held should then start the H-3 visa procedure. As for H-1B, H-2A, or H-2B visas, the organisation must then appeal to the proper agencies for the H-3 candidate to be permitted a visa.

The training organisation that provides and organises the training must send a request to USCIS with the description of the training curricula or special education program that the candidate desires to join and also affix more documents such as:

• The employee of the training organisation
• The description of the candidate with specifics about:
  • Education and previous gradations
  • Previous training
  • Job experience in the related arena that the training program will be about
  • Whether the candidate will get any financial advantage from the training
• If it is a special education organisation, it should also show evidence that they provide such facilities or training

The training institution must file Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker to USCIS. The charge for the document is USD 460. This paper must be filled with the required information and sent to USCIS with the documents defined above. The appeal must be filed at a definite time, mostly more than six months earlier the training program will start. Next USCIS evaluates the documents and the Form I-129, they will make a decision and forward it to the training organisation. If they accept the request, they will send Form I-797 to the institution, which will support the applicant to apply for the visa. The acceptance of the appeal will indicate the training curricula or special education applicant to start applying for the H-3 visa. The visa appeal must be done at the U.S Embassy of the applicant’s home nation. The candidate must submit these papers:

• Fill out the Online Form DS-160 from the website of U.S Embassy
• Form I-129 and Form I-797
• Legal passport
• Birth record or certificate
• One photo meeting the U.S. Visa Digital Image Requirements
• Documents which show your commitment to go back to your home states such as an assets deed, flat lease, or future work agreement
• Reimburse the petition fee of USD 190

After submitting the papers, you will have to book an interview date. The interview will then be conducted to evaluate whether you are appropriate to join the training or special education program, and if you reach all the qualifications. In case of a positive reply, you will then obtain the visa stamp and will be prepared to join the program you have been admitted.
