Non-Immigrant Visas

Non-immigrant visas are temporary permits that allow foreigners to enter the United States for specific purposes, such as tourism, business, study, or work. Unlike immigrant visas, which are designed for those seeking to live permanently in the U.S., non-immigrant visas are issued for a limited time and require the holder to return to their home country after their visit. Each visa type has its own requirements and restrictions, depending on the intended activity. Examples include tourist visas (B-2), student visas (F-1), and work visas (H-1B).
