Non-Immigrant Visas
Temporary Work, Investment, and Study in the U.S.
Unlike Green Cards (Permanent Residence), Non-Immigrant Visas (NIV) are granted for a specific purpose and a limited duration. Whether you are a multinational executive, a specialized professional, or a student, choosing the right visa category is the foundation of your U.S. journey.

⚠️ The Critical Concept: “Dual Intent”
Most visas (like B-1/B-2, F-1, E-2, TN) require “Non-Immigrant Intent,” meaning you must prove you plan to return home. Filing for a Green Card while on these visas can lead to denial or fraud accusations.
However, H-1B and L-1 visas allow “Dual Intent.” You can legally work temporarily while applying for your Green Card without penalty. Choosing the right visa strategy is essential for your long-term immigration goals.
