Visas
What is a Visa?
There are two categories of visas – immigrant visas and nonimmigrant visas. An immigrant visa, or what is commonly called a Green Card, will give you permanent resident status. A nonimmigrant visa or what is commonly referred to merely as a Visa, will only be granted to an applicant for a specific
length of time to engage in a specific activity. Some examples of visas include:
- H-1B work visa
- E investor visas
- F-1 student visas
- L-1 intracompany transfer visas
- TN visas
- O-1 visas
- R-1 religious worker visas
- B-1/B-2 visitor visas
- E-3 Work Visas (Australian citizens)
There are more than 25 different types of nonimmigrant visas and all are limited in scope and duration and will expire.
