What is the H-3 Visa?

The H-3 visa is a non-immigrant visa category that allows foreign nationals to come to the U.S. for training in a particular field or to participate in a special education exchange program. The primary purpose of the H-3 visa is to offer instruction and training that is not available in the applicant’s home country.

Who Qualifies for the H-3 Visa?

There are two primary categories for H-3 visa eligibility:

a. Trainee

To qualify for the H-3 visa as a trainee, applicants must meet the following criteria:

1. Training Program: The training must be in a field where the applicant cannot receive the necessary training in their home country.
2. No Productive Employment: Training must not engage in productive employment unless it is incidental and necessary to the training.
3. No U.S. Worker Displacement: The training must not be used to provide employment to the foreign national in a position readily available to U.S. workers.

b. Special Education Exchange Visitor

This category is designed for those participating in a special education training program for children with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. Specific requirements must be met, including prior experience or training in special education.
