What Are Temporary Visitors And Non-Immigrant Visas?

Any individual who  wishes to visit the United States and  is not planning to relocate to the U.S. can apply and obtain a visa. A non-immigrant visa is a temporary visa that allows temporary visitors the right to visit the United States for a specific amount of time. This visit can be for a vacation or a limited amount of time for employment.

  Anyone visiting the United States for any reason will need a temporary or non-immigrant visa. The trip can include pleasure, business, temporary employment, medical attention, or any other reason that does not include permanent residency.   Non-immigrant visas  are issued only for temporary visitors for specific reasons and for a limited time.

In order to visit the United States with a non-immigrant visa, you must visit a United States embassy in the country  where you reside and apply for a temporary visa.  Some non-immigrant visas  limit   the number of individuals  who can receive a that type of temporary visa. The  biggest hurdle to receiving a temporary visa is the local Consular Officer believing you may not return to your home country after the visa has expired.   In order to receive a non-immigrant visa, all temporary visitors must prove they can support themselves while visiting the United States, as well as have the qualifications  needed for the type of visa they desire.

You may wish to talk with a qualified immigration attorney to learn the qualifications  required to apply for a non-immigrant visa.
