Non-Immigrant Visa Attorney in El Paso

Types of Non-Immigrant Visas

When citizens of other countries desire to travel to the United States for a period of time to conduct business or for pleasure, medical or educational reasons, they will need to apply for and receive a non-immigrant visa prior to entering the country. A non-immigrant visa is issued for a specific reason and set period of time and it cannot be applied for once you have entered the country. For example, a foreign national on a student visa will not be able to work; a tourist will not be able to remain in the country and attend school on a tourist visa. Tourist visas, student visas, medical visas and work visas are some of the types of non-immigrant visas which can be applied for. There are additional types of visas as well.

You can apply for a change of status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) based on your current, valid visa. It is not uncommon for people travelling to this country for pleasure, to decide to stay for educational or business opportunities. Should the purpose of the traveler's visit change once in the country, it is required by law that the visa holder apply to the USCIS for a change of immigration status. A failure to apply for change of status can result in deportation or removal proceedings.
