What Is a Nonimmigrant Visa?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>

The type of visa is determined by the purpose of your travel to the United States. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection gives the following definition.<\/p>\n

\n

A nonimmigrant visa (NIV) is issued to a person with permanent residence outside the United States, but wishes to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work or study, as examples.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

Some Categories of Nonimmigrant Visas<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>

There is a long list of temporary visas permitting entry into the United States for many different purposes and for periods of time ranging from a few days to several years. Some require advance approval of a petition by the USCIS before the American Consulate abroad will issue a visa while others can be issued by the Consulate without prior USCIS approval. Visas may be granted to the principal applicant and to his or her immediate family dependents (i.e., spouse and unmarried children under age 21).<\/p>\n<\/div>
