Visa types for non-immigrants
There are a large number of non-immigrant categories. The most frequently used are:
- B-1 – For temporary business visitors
- B-2 – For temporary non-business visitors
- E-1 – Treaty traders
- E-2 Treaty investors
- F-1/2 – Academic students and their families
- H – Various temporary workers
- K – Spouse, child and fiancé visas
- M – Vocational students
- TN – Visas for citizens of Canada and Mexico working in the U. S. under the provisions of NAFTA
Proving your intent to return home
The law presumes that a future immigrant is hiding behind every temporary visa. Therefore, people applying for visitor and temporary visas must show that they do not intend to immigrate because:
- They have a house, job and family in their country of origin
- They are in the United States for a specific period of time and for a specific purpose, such as business, leisure travel or medical treatment
Our attorneys are adept at developing documentation that clearly demonstrates the temporary nature of the visit. We collect photographs, financial records and any other proof of the applicant’s intention to return home from the U.S. employer or family. We supply information about the consulate abroad where the application will be submitted and the interview will be conducted.
