Non Immigrant Visa

A non immigrant visa is for international travelers, who are citizens of other countries and are coming to the United States on a temporary basis. This visa allows an individual to travel to a United States port of entry and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security to enter the United States. Though a non immigrant visa helps to get an individual access to the United States, it doesn't necessary guarantee it. An individual may use a non immigrant visa for a variety of temporary reasons including vacation, business, and medical treatment. The purpose, intent, and duration of the trip to the United States will need to be declared well in advance and be part of the application process to determine if an individual is granted a non immigrant visa.

Fast Facts

  • Though it is possible to get an extension to a non immigrant visa, it is far less likely than with an immigrant visa as the intent is for a temporary purpose.
  • As there are a variety of different types of non immigrant visas, each requires different documentation and durations associated with it to back up the purpose of the temporary visit.
