Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 30 January 2014
Religious workers include persons authorized by a recognized entity to conduct religious worship and undertake other duties usually performed by authorized members of the clergy of that religion, and workers engaging in a religious vocation or occupation. You must meet the following criteria if you seek a religious worker visa:

You must be a member of a religious denomination recognized as a bona fide nonprofit religious organization in the U.S.
Your religious denomination and its affiliate, if applicable, must be either exempt from taxation or qualify for tax-exempt status.
You must have been:
(a) a member of your denomination for the two years immediately preceding your application for religious worker status
(b) planning to work as a minister of your denomination, or in a religious occupation or vocation for a bona fide, nonprofit religious organization (or a tax-exempt affiliate of such an organization)
(c) residing and physically present outside the U.S. for the immediate prior year, if you have previously spent five years in this category.
There is no requirement that you have a residence abroad that you have no intention of abandoning. However, you must intend to depart the U.S. at the end of your lawful status, absent specific indications or evidence to the contrary.
