Nonimmigrant visa
A nonimmigrant visa allows someone to enter a country temporarily for specific purposes like tourism, work, study, or business. It is issued for a limited time and typically requires the person to demonstrate that they intend to return to their home country after their visit. Nonimmigrant visas differ from immigrant visas, which are for those planning to move permanently. They are usually granted under specific categories, each with its own requirements, and are essential for legal entry and stay for the designated purpose.
