U.S. Visa Types

• Immigrant Visas: These are for people who intend to live permanently in the United States without any time limitations.
  


• Non-Immigrant Visas: These are for people with permanent residence outside of the United States but who wish to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis. Temporary stays in the U.S. are usually for temporary work or study, tourism, medical treatment or business.

To obtain a United States Non-Immigrant visa, such as a Tourist Visa or Student Visa, applicants must show that they qualify by law under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The presumption of this law is that every visitor visa holder is an intending immigrant, so applicants must overcome this presumption by demonstrating the following about their trip to the United States:

1. The visa is needed for business, tourism or medical treatment
2. The visitor plans to stay for a specific and limited time
3. The applicant has a residence outside of the United States and also binding ties that ensure their return abroad at the end of the visit
