Information about U.S. Visas: A visa gives you the right to travel to the U.S., there are several types of visas depending on the purpose or type of travel. In general visas are divided in two main groups: immigrant visas and non-immigrant visas. A non-immigrant visa doesn’t give you the right to stay permanently in the U.S., these visas are issued for the purpose of one or multiple temporary trips to travel as a visitor to the United States with the intention to leave the U.S. upon expiration of the time allowed to stay in the United States. The application for most non-immigrant visas must be file and submitted at the local consulate or embassy in country of residence of the applicant. It is important to know and understand well all the visa application and immigration requirements including how to make an appointment, how to submit the application for the visa, and to use the current forms to apply for the right visa.

It is important to understand the difference between the expiration time of the actual visa and the time allowed to stay inside the U.S. when traveling with the visa. The date in the form I-94 tells you for how long can you stay in the U.S. on each trip. Overstaying in the U.S. can have serious consequences in the future, if you stay longer than your authorized time of stay in the U.S. you may be bar and not be allowed to enter the U.S. again for certain time or permanently depending on how long you overstay your visa and on other factors. In some cases you may request an extension of stay with a tourist or business visitor visa. Order this information package to learn more about length of stay and visitor visas.
