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:

Assessing Eligibility: Determining which non-immigrant visa category is suitable based on the applicant’s qualifications and the intended purpose of their stay.
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).
Communication with USCIS: Acting as a liaison between the applicant and USCIS, addressing any requests for additional information or clarification.
Legal Representation: Representing the applicant’s interests in legal proceedings, such as visa interviews or appeals.
Ensuring Compliance: Ensuring that all visa requirements are met and advising on maintaining legal status while in the United States.
