Nonimmigrant Visas
With only a few exceptions, nonimmigrant visas are for foreign nationals who do not wish to remain in the United States permanently. For example, a foreign national who would like to attend college in the United States and then return to her home country might apply for an F-1 visa.
Other nonimmigrant visas allow one to work in the United States. The H-1B visa, for example, allows one to work for a specific employer in a specialty occupation.
The K-1 (fiancé) and K-3 (spouse) nonimmigrant visas are specifically for those who wish to remain permanently in the United States with a U.S. citizen spouse.
If you would like to come to the United States temporarily, or perhaps change your classification while on a temporary visit here, call us for a consultation.
