IMMIGRATION OPTIONS Non-Immigrant Visas Any person seeking to enter the United States must have the proper non-immigrant, or temporary visa, issued for the specific purpose of travel. The only exception is a business or tourist traveler from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program, which waives the visa requirement, but still requires a pre-registration before travel to the U.S. All other travelers, including temporary workers, students and visitors from countries that do not have visa exemptions must obtain a specific visa in the proper classification for the activity they wish to engage in while within the U.S. Find out more... Immigrant Visas The goal of many people entering the U.S. immigration process is to obtain permanent resident status, or the green card. The benefits of being a permanent resident include the legal right to live, work, and remain in the U.S. indefinitely, with very few restrictions and limitations. Whether you are just starting the immigrant process or have an immigrant petition pending, it is important to understand all of the legal obligations tied to the green card to avoid violations, which could compromise the ability to receive, maintain, or continue immigrant benefits.
