The United States is by far the largest economy in the world. Moreover, several individual states in the U.S. have economies that outpace most other nations. If New York State, or even New York City, were a country, it would rank in the top ten global economies. It’s no wonder that so many businesses and corporations are located here and that so many top talented professionals want to live and work here. New York employers for their part are keen to attract the best people from around the world. From our offices in New York City, The Law Offices of Elsa Ayoub represents individuals and companies ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations on a global scale, providing immigration advice tailored to each client’s objectives.

What Is a Non-Immigrant Visa?

A non-immigrant visa allows foreign nationals to temporarily stay in the United States for a specific purpose, such as tourism, business, or education. Non-immigrant visas are typically issued for a limited duration and do not grant permanent residency (green cards) or citizenship. However, it is often possible for individuals in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa to adjust their status to permanent residence if that is their desire.

How Can an Immigration Attorney Help?

Obtaining a non-immigrant visa can be a complex and confusing task. The more popular visas are capped at a certain number each year, while other non-immigrant visas have highly specialized eligibility requirements. At The Law Offices of Elsa Ayoub, our commitment to our clients means that we think outside the box and find a solution that fits, and then we work closely with the client to achieve that goal. Our experienced Manhattan employment visa attorney can provide invaluable assistance by:

  1. Assessing Eligibility: Determining which non-immigrant visa category is suitable based on the applicant’s qualifications and the intended purpose of their stay.
  2. Preparing and Submitting Documentation: Assisting with the completion and submission of the required forms, supporting documents, and evidence to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  3. Communication with USCIS: Acting as a liaison between the applicant and USCIS, addressing any requests for additional information or clarification.
  4. Legal Representation: Representing the applicant’s interests in legal proceedings, such as visa interviews or appeals.
  5. Ensuring Compliance: Ensuring that all visa requirements are met and advising on maintaining legal status while in the United States.
