Types of Visas for Immigrants to the United States
• There are many types of visas that might be sought by someone who
wants to visit or move to the United States. The first step, therefore, is to
know and understand the type of visa that would best serve the needs of
the applicant.
• Sometimes the person who wants to come to America must apply for a
visa. Other times a prospective employer must apply for the visa. It is
therefore usually wise to hire a competent immigration law firm when
starting the immigration process.

4. What is an Immigrant Visa? Cont-
» One of the primary ways to obtain an immigration visa is through
employment. America recognizes that people who live in other
countries often have education, , training, and skills that would be
beneficial to employers in America.
» There are ways for employers to bring those workers to America through the
immigration visa process. These workers might include professionals with
advanced degrees or with exceptional abilities, for example, although there
are additional categories.
» For most employment based immigration visas, an employer must first apply
for and receive a labor certification from the Department of Labor.
» Another primary way to obtain an immigration visa is through a qualifying
family member. The services of a competent immigration law firm can be
very helpful.

» There is another less known way to obtain an immigration visa, which
is through an investment in a business that creates jobs for American
citizens. The rules are strict, but this is a fairly quick way for someone
to obtain immigration visas for themselves and their family members.
» Almost certainly an investor will wish to have the assistance of a competent
immigration law firm, as well as the assistance of a competent business and
employment law firm.
» Finally, it is possible for persons seeking protection from persecution in their
home country to seek asylum in America.

6. What is a Nonimmigrant Visa?
» A nonimmigrant visa allows a person to come to America for a specific
purpose for a specific period of time. Again, there are many choices.
» Determining which choice would work best for a person requires an
evaluation of the purpose of the visit as well as comprehensive knowledge of
the rules. The reasons for a nonimmigrant visa range from education to
business to temporary employment to bringing a fiancée to America to be
married.

process includes filing an application with the U.S. consulate or
embassy that is located in the foreign country where the person
seeking the visa lives, but sometimes it also requires the filing of an

valuable.

even more difficult to apply for and receive one.

seriously considered by anyone who intends to seek an immigrant or a
nonimmigrant visa to come to America.
