Nonimmigrant Visa| Get Yours With the Help of Committed Attorneys
A nonimmigrant visa is given to those people who visit the US for a temporary period to fulfill a specific purpose. A holder of a nonimmigrant visa must leave the country after the authorized stay is over, and is mot able to remain in the US permanently. The most common applications for a nonimmigrant visa come from tourists, students and temporary workers.
A letter and a number identify a nonimmigrant visa. A student visa is known as an F-1 and the commonly issued temporary visa for workers is a H-1B. There are many more categories of a nonimmigrant visa. For example, if a company finds itself unable to secure a H- visa for its employees because the quotas are filled, a highly experienced immigration attorney may recommend a O-1 visa for potential employees of exceptional ability.
Benefits of an Immigration Attorney for a Nonimmigrant Visa
Each nonimmigrant visa allows the applicant into the US for a limited purpose, and comes with a different set of rights, to either work for the sponsoring employee or to study at a specific university. Each time, a worker changes jobs or a student transfers to a different university, a new temporary visa is required, and the application process repeated.
The period of permitted stay varies with each temporary visa. A student visa is given for the duration of the study; someone on a tourist visa can only visit for six months each time. However, a holder of an investor nonimmigrant visa may stay in the US for several years.
