Most Common Types of Non-immigrant Visas

What is a non-immigrant visa? A Non-immigrant Visa is a visa for foreigners, who want to come or remain in the United States, on a temporary basis for a specific period of time and purpose, as opposed to an Immigrant Visa through which an individual may obtain a Green Card or Permanent Resident status in the U.S., allowing the foreigner to remain in the US permanently

The U.S. has many types of Non-immigrant U.S. Visas, which are classified in different categories, depending on the purpose of your stay in United States (business, education, employment, tourism, etc.). These visas generally allow you and your immediate relatives to visit or to live in the US lawfully, for a specific period of time and many of them will also allow you to be employed and your family members to study. A few Non-immigrant Visas will even allow some of your immediate family members to be employed in the United States, which can be a great benefit.

It is important to consider many factors when you are deciding to apply for a Non-immigrant Visa. Our immigration lawyers at FitzGerald Law Company have a great deal of knowledge and experience with Non-immigrant Visas, and can assist you with your process.
