Note on visa categories:
H1B Visa: This is an employment-based, non-immigrant visa for speciality based occupation and requires at-least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent.  An employer must offer a job in the US and apply for your H1B visa petition with the US Immigration Department.Total stay under H1B is limited to 6 years. Initial approval is for 3 years, which can be extended in an increment of up to 3 years.
Dependents
The spouse and unmarried children (under the age of 21) of H1B professionals are allowed to stay in the United States under a dependent category called the H4 visa for the same duration as the H1B status

H2B Visa:
H2B Visas are intended for temporary workers who do not work in the agriculture industry. Such visas are used for a wide variety of workers, such as business trainers, entertainers, athletes, camp counselors, ski instructors, and home attendants for terminally ill patients.The maximum time you can stay in the U.S. with an H-2B visa is three years.
Dependents
Dependent spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age are granted H-4 visas and are eligible to join H-2B visa holders for the duration of their visas.

L1 Visa:
The L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows overseas companies to transfer employees under two types of L1 visa schemes - L1A for managers and L1B for employees with specialised skills and knowledge.The L1-A visa grants a maximum stay of up to 7 years. L1-B grants up to 5 years. - Link
Dependents
The L2 visa is issued to the dependents of an L1 visa person. Dependents include the spouse and the children under 21 years of age. The limit of the L2 visa is the same as the L1 visa.

J1 Visa:
The J-1 visa in the United States is for people who wish to take part in work-and-study-based exchange and visitor programs in the U.S. These programs are sponsored by an educational or other nonprofit institution, which must be accredited through the Exchange Visitor Program designated by the U.S. State Department. J-1 exchange visitors come to the United States to teach, study, receive training or demonstrate special skills. The J1 visa is meant for students who need practical training that is not available to them in their home country, and the training must be directly related to their academic program.
Dependents 
The J-2 Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by a consular official at a U.S. embassy or consulate for spouses and dependents (unmarried children under the age of 21) of J-1 exchange visitors
