The Nonimmigrant Visa Alphabet
Raleigh Lawyers for Your Visa Needs
The classification of "nonimmigrant" applies to any person coming to the United States for a specific purpose, usually to work or visit, for a temporary period of time. Some non-immigrant visas have longer durations than others, and each has its own eligibility requirements.
At Gardner Law, PLLC, we help our clients apply for and obtain nonimmigrant visas that best meet their needs, including but not limited to:
- B1/B2 visas for business travelers, domestic employees or international visitors
- E1/E2 visas for treaty traders and treaty investors
- E3 visas for Australian nationals working in a specialty occupation
- F1 visas for international students
- H-1B visas for professionals in specialty occupations
- J1 visas for exchange visitors such as students, trainees, researchers, or au pairs
- K1 visas for fiancés of US citizens to come marry in the US
- L1 visas for international companies interested in opening a US location or transferring a specialized employee or manager from its overseas office to its US office
- O1 visas for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics
- P1 visas for athletes, artists and entertainers
- TN visas for Mexican and Canadian nationals seeking work as an eligible NAFTA professional
Nonimmigrant visa classifications will allow you to bring your spouse and children to the US as dependents during the validity of your stay. Some classifications also allow your spouse to receive work authorization while here with you in the US.
