What are immigrant and non-immigrant visas in the United States?

Immigrant and nonimmigrant visas are categories used to define the purpose of a person’s entry into or stay in the United States.

 

Nonimmigrant visas are intended for temporary situations, such as tourism, study, temporary work, exchange programs, or business.

 

Immigrant visas, on the other hand, are intended for individuals seeking permanent residence in the United States, typically through family-based, employment-based, or other eligible categories.

What our customers say

Permanent Residency Granted

I went through the entire green card process with Attorney Santos and his entire team. I am very grateful. First, I obtained my conditional residency, and now I have my permanent residency. Of course, I will handle my entire citizenship process with you all as well. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
