1. Nonimmigrant Visas (Temporary Status)

Temporary Visitors for Business (B-1 Visa) or for Pleasure (B-2 Visa)

You may be eligible for a B-1 visa if you are coming to the U.S. for business which means a wide variety of legitimate commercial and professional activities, including negotiations, conferences, and consultation.

You may be eligible for a B-2 visa if you are coming to the U.S. for pleasure which embraces visits with friends and relatives, touring, social contacts, rest, medical treatment, amusement and a variety of other activities.

Applications for the B visa is made at a U.S. consular office and requires no prior petition to another agency.

Foreign Students (F-1 Visa & M-1 Visa)

You may be eligible for an F-1 visa if you are coming to the U.S. to pursue a full course of study in any educational program. 

You may be eligible for an M-1 if you are coming to the U.S. to pursue a vocational and non-academic program.

Application for the student visa is made at a U.S. consular office and requires no prior petition to another agency.

An F-1 student should be admitted to the U.S. for the "duration of status", which is defined as the period during which a full course of studies is being pursued, and any periods of authorized practical training, plus sixty days within which to depart from the U.S.

An M-1 student should be admitted to the U.S. for the period of time necessary to complete the course of study, plus thirty days within which to depart the U.S.

Temporary Workers (H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, and H-3)

Temporary Workers in Specialty Occupations (H-1B)

You may be eligible for H-1B if you are coming to the U.S. temporarily to perform services in a "specialty occupation" which requires a university degree or its equivalence or higher, or if you are a fashion model. "Specialty occupations" here include but are not limited to accounting, architecture, engineering, physical science, medicine and health, education, law, and the arts.

H-1B visas are subject to an admission cap of 65,000 each year. The number may change.

If you live outside of the U.S., you need to file an application with the U.S. consular office after the petition is approved.

If you are already in the U.S. on another visa status, you need to apply for change of status.
