What Is An R-1 Visa?
The R-1 nonimmigrant visa allows an overseas religious worker to seek temporary work in the foreign organization for which they are applying. They do not have to apply to become a minister, priest, or rabbi as long as they are looking to engage in a religious vocation. There is an array of organizations that can petition for R-1 visas, from the nation's most seasoned religious communities to situation-specific cooperative agreements.
Applying For A Religious Worker (R-1) Visa
To apply for the R-1 visa, a religious organization needs to demonstrate that they are either exempt from paying taxes or that the organization is preeminently non-profit. They must also show that they plan to offer a job to a member of their religious organization to work at least 20 hours a week in the U.S.

What Are Applicants Permitted to Do in the U.S.?
It is important to note that R-1 visa applicants are permitted to work for more than one employer while they are in the U.S.
Applicants may apply for R-1 visa if they have been a member of that religious organization for a minimum of two years prior to applying for the visa. They may also bring their spouse and children, who can study and work in the U.S. They may only stay for a period of 5 years, but if they leave the U.S. they can return again after they have physically remained in the country for no less than one year.
