Hi,

I am asking this question in regards to work visas on behalf of my boyfriend who is a French citizen.

My boyfriend was in the U.S. on a student exchange program last year (2008-2009), which allowed him to get an internship/work using the SSN they provided him for employment authorization. He is interested in visiting the U.S. again this summer for less than 3 months, and in the meantime would like to get temporary work. Since he has had previous employment in the U.S. and still obtains an SSN card, will he still need to apply for a temporary work visa for this summer?
 
He had an SSN number issued for his employment authorization but the situation at that time was different and him being on a student exchange program made it easier to get it. Which is not the case this time so he would have to apply for the work visa again, but be rest assured as the it would be a little easier as he already had one during his last visit.
