H-3

visas for career training

The H-3 nonimmigrant visa category allows foreign nationals coming temporarily to the United States to receive training in any field of endeavor, other than graduate medical education or training, that is not available in the foreign national’s home country.

An H-3 “trainee” must be invited by an individual or organization for the purpose of receiving training, in any field including but not limited to:  

• Agriculture

• Commerce

• Communications

• Finance

• Government

• Transportation

• Other professions

This classification is not intended for U.S. employment.  It is designed to provide a foreign national with job-related training for work that will ultimately be performed outside the United States.
