The H1-B Visa
The H-1B non-immigrant visa is one that allows for temporary employment (6 years total and a possibility of additional years in certain circumstances) in the United States for foreign nationals who are offered a specialty occupation position. The H-1B visa enables American employers to hire highly educated individuals with the minimum of a U.S. Bachelor's degree (or the equivalent thereof) from a U.S. university. The H-1B is particularly desirable for employers searching for employees in a particular field due to the higher educational/experiential requirement and without the burden of undergoing an extensive recruitment process.

E-1 and E-2 Visas
The E visa category is intended for foreign nationals of countries having commercial treaties with the United States to engage in trade or business investment activities in the United States. To qualify, you must be from a nation which has entered into a treaty with the United States of friendship or treaty of commerce and navigation or a similar treaty with the United States.

The L-1 Visa
The L-1 enables foreign companies to transfer executives and managers and/or technical personnel with "specialized knowledge" to work in the U.S. at one of its U.S. affiliate, parent, or subsidiary entities on a temporary basis. The L-1 is a non-immigrant visa but as it allows for dual intent, the L visa holder can concurrently file for an immigrant visa.
