Temporary Visas
Non-immigrant visa lawyers in Tennessee
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, Investors, and Employment-Based Alien Entrepreneurs
- Student Visas
- Temporary Workers
- Exchange Visitors J Visas
- Fiancé(e) K-1 Visa
- Spouse K-3 or Child K-4 of U.S. Citizen Visas
- Religious Workers R-1 Visa
- Intracompany Transferees L-1 Visas
- Extraordinary Ability or Achievement O-1 Visa
- Athletes, Artist and Entertainers P Visas
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.
