Us Visa For A Thai Worker

[whistleblower]

Hi

We operate a company here in Thailand but also have an office in California. We wish to send one of our female office workers to the US office for 6-9 months for a specific project. Does anyone know what type of visa she would require, how long it will take etc and is there a sample letter flying around that we, as the employer have to send to the US embassy in Bangkok?

Any help greatly appreciated

It depends on the type of work, but try this for starters. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1275.html

Looks to me like she'd need an "H" visa:

And, as already posted, info here:

Be advised that these things can takea lot of time to get in place...I worked in the US Pre-9/11 on a H-1B visa and it took months to get sorted out, one would guess these days even longer

So it is possible?
