Temporary Visas
B-1/B-2 Visitor�s Visas
Available to visits coming to the U.S. for business or pleasure. B-1
business visitor visas are for a short duration and must not involve local
employment. Nationals of certain countries may be eligible to visit the
U.S. for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa.
E-1/E-2 Treaty Trader and Investor Visas
Investors and traders and their employees may receive visas to carry on
their businesses in the U.S. if their home country has a commercial treaty
with the US conferring visa eligibility.
F-1 and M-1 Student Visas
Persons seeking to pursue a full course of study at a school in the United
States may be eligible for a visa for the course of their study plus, in
some cases, a period for practical training in their field of study.
H-1B Specialty Occupation (Professionals) Visas
Professional workers with at least a bachelor�s degree (or its equivalent
work experience) may be eligible for a non-immigrant visa if their
employers can demonstrate that they are to be paid at least the prevailing
wage for the position.
J-1 and Q-1 Exchange Visitor Visas
Persons coming to the U.S. in an approved exchange program may be eligible
for the J-1 Exchange Visitor�s visa. J-1 programs often cover students,
short-term scholars, business trainees, teachers, professors and research
scholars, specialists, international visitors, government visitors, camp
counselors and au pairs. In some cases, participation in a J-1 program
will be coupled with the requirement that the beneficiary spend at least
two years outside of the U.S. before being permitted to switch to a
different non-immigrant visa or to permanent residency. Mr. regularly
handles the application process for seeking a waiver to the home residency
requirement that applies to many J-1 visa holders.
K-1 Fiancee Visas
A Fiance(e) of a U.S. citizen is eligible for a non-immigrant visa
conditioned on the conclusion of the marriage within 90 days.
L-1 Intracompany Transfer Visas
L-1 visas are available to executives, managers and specialized knowledge
employees transferring to their employer�s U.S. affiliate. Executives and
managers holding L-1 visas may be eligible for permanent residency without
the need for a labor certification.
O-1 Extraordinary Ability Worker Visas
The O-1 category is set aside for foreign nationals with extraordinary
ability. This includes entertainers, athletes, scientists, and
businesspersons.
P-1 Artists and Athletes Visas
This category covers athletes, artists and entertainers.

Permanent Residency Visas ("Green Cards")
Family Sponsored Immigration
U.S. citizens may petition for spouses, parents, children and siblings.
Permanent residents may petition for spouses and children.
EB-1 Foreign Nationals of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors
and
Researchers and Multinational Executives and Managers
Individuals in this category can petition for permanent residency without
having to go through the time consuming labor certification process.
EB-2 Workers with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability in the Sciences,
Arts or Business
Visa holders in this category normally must have a job offer and the
potential employer must complete the labor certification process. The
labor certification involves a testing of the job market to demonstrate
that the potential visa holder is not taking a job away from a U.S.
worker. In cases where an individual can show that his entry is in the
national interest, the job offer and labor certification requirements can
be waived.
EB-3 Skilled Workers and Professionals
Visa holders in this category normally must have a job offer and the
potential employer must complete the labor certification process.
EB-4 Special Immigrant Visas for Religious Workers
Ministers of religion are eligible for permanent residency.
EB-5 Investor/Employment Creation Visas
Under the 1990 Immigration Act, Congress has set aside up to 10,000 visas
per year for alien investors in new commercial enterprises who create
employment for ten individuals. There are two groups of investors under
the program - those who invest at least $500,000 in "targeted employment
areas" (rural areas or areas experiencing high unemployment of at least
150% of the national average rate) and those who invest $1,000,000
anywhere else. No fewer than 3,000 of the annual allotment of visas must
go to targeted employment areas.
DV-1 Visas (the "Green Card Lottery")
55,000 visas are annually allotted in a random drawing to individuals from
nations underrepresented in the total immigrant pool.
Refugee and Asylum Applications
Persons with a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or
political opinion may be eligible to apply for asylum or refugee status in
the U.S.
