There is no such thing as a "work visa" :/ There is a Non-Immigrant Type B <-(business) visa or a Non-Immigrant Type O <-(other) visa

Her current (medical) Visa runs out on May 25th. We are starting a ministry here, and need to move her to a work Visa in order to operate it.

My son got his non o visa there (married to a thai) about 6 weeks ago. They were friendly and helpful. No problems.
