How Peet Viljoen Helps Afrikaners Get Jobs in the USA — Legally
For many Afrikaners in South Africa, the dream of a new life in the United States is becoming a necessity. With economic decline, limited opportunities, and rising insecurity back home, more families are exploring options to work and settle legally in America.
But U.S. immigration law is complex, and choosing the right visa is often the difference between success and rejection. That’s where Peet Viljoen, a South African attorney with over 20 years of legal experience — now cleared to sit for the U.S. Bar Exam — steps in.
Having personally navigated the U.S. immigration system, Peet understands not only the law but also the practical challenges Afrikaners face. His mission is clear: help Afrikaners secure jobs in the USA legally, under the right visas, and with a long-term plan in mind.
Visa Pathways for Afrikaners
There is no “one size fits all” solution. The right visa depends on a person’s skills, business interests, and family situation. Here are some of the main legal routes Peet advises on:
1. H-1B Visa – Skilled Employment
For Afrikaners with university degrees or specialized skills (IT, engineering, accounting, healthcare, etc.), the H-1B visa allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in “specialty occupations.”
Requires a sponsoring U.S. employer.
Valid for up to 6 years.
Can lead to permanent residency (Green Card).
2. O-1 Visa – Extraordinary Ability
Peet himself is applying under this category, which recognizes professionals with extraordinary achievements in their field.
Ideal for Afrikaners with specialized skills, patents, awards, or leadership in business, sport, or the arts.
Faster processing than many other visas.
3. E-2 Investor Visa
For Afrikaners willing to invest in a U.S. business — such as a franchise, salon, or restaurant.
Requires a substantial investment (often $100,000+).
Allows you and your family to live in the U.S. and run your business.
Renewable indefinitely as long as the business is operational.
4. L-1 Visa – Transfer Within a Company
For Afrikaner entrepreneurs who own businesses in South Africa, the L-1 visa allows expansion into the U.S.
Lets you transfer as an executive or manager of your own U.S. branch.
A common path for Afrikaner business owners expanding abroad.
5. Work & Study Visas (F-1 / OPT / J-1)
For younger Afrikaners, study visas (F-1) can be a gateway to U.S. education and eventual employment through Optional Practical Training (OPT) or exchange programs (J-1).
Why Afrikaners Need Legal Guidance
Too many Afrikaners have tried to “figure it out” alone, only to face costly mistakes:
Applying for the wrong visa type.
Trusting unqualified agents or “consultants.”
Missing deadlines or failing to maintain legal status.
With his legal background, Peet provides:
Visa strategy planning tailored to your career or business.
Employer connections in industries hiring Afrikaners.
Franchise & investment options for E-2 or L-1 visas.
Document preparation that satisfies U.S. immigration standards.
