Yes, certain work visa holders in the U.S. can petition for a change of status or for permanent residency (Green Card) under specific conditions. For example, employers can sponsor employees on H-1B or L-1 visas for permanent residency through employment-based petitions. However, the process and eligibility can vary based on the visa type and individual circumstances, so it's essential to consult with an Immigration attorney for guidance.

What is the cost of visa from US to Ghana?

The application fee for a US visa (where you're coming from doesn't matter) varies depending on the type of visa. A tourist (or other non-petition) visa is $US 160. Most petition-based visas are $US 190; a few are more expensive. This is a processing fee and is non-refundable, even if you don't actually get the visa. There also may be a visa issuance fee that varies by country and depends on reciprocity. This is only charged when the visa is actually issued. For Ghana, there's no issuance fee for any type of visa. Ghana is not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program (which allows people to use an ESTA instead of a visa and is cheaper).

It's essential to check the specific requirements and procedures, as they may vary based on your situation and the type of visa.
