A Temporary
Visa (also called a non-immigrant visa) allows foreigners to
stay in the United States on a temporary basis. U.S. embassies or
consulates abroad review visa applications and grant visas, as does the
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is a bureau in
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Foreign nationals and U.S.
businesses must submit temporary visa petitions to the proper agency
based on specific visa requirements. A variety of non-immigrant visas
are available. Common visas include the following:
Temporary
Visas for Business or Pleasure
Treaty
Traders, Treaty Investors, and Employment-Based Alien Entrepreneurs

The visa
type specifies the activities in which the person may engage while
staying in the United States, such as work, study, performance arts,
etc. Generally one visa may apply to multiple visits over an indicated
time period.
