Greetings! To obtain a work visa for the US you must first have a job offer. Then you'll need approval from the US citizenship and immigration boards. You must complete a non-immigration visa application ( form DS-160) and print the confirmation and schedule an interview. Once you begin, there will be guidance along the way. To work in the laboratory field you need specific educational qualifications, so those would likely need to be done before any job offer would be forthcoming. Your foreign education documents would need to be evaluated for equivalency to US education levels. The minimum education for routine laboratory work is a US high school diploma. For more complex testing, the equivalency must be to an associate or bachelor degree in a laboratory science, with the bachelor's degree being required for high-complexity testing such as microbiology and immunohematology and a few other areas. Hope this is helpful. Best to you in your journey!
