A non-immigrant is an foreign national who is making a temporary visit to the U.S. The types of activities in which the alien can engage while in the U.S. (i.e., work, study) depend on the person’s non-immigrant classification. The acquisition of a non-immigrant visa in some classifications begins with a petition to the USCIS by a sponsoring employer. Other classifications do not require this preliminary step. In any case, the visa itself is obtained through a U.S. consulate abroad and is stamped in the alien’s passport. A non-immigrant visa only provides permission to appear at a border and ask USCIS for permission to enter the U.S. The USCIS determines how long the foreign national can remain in the U.S. and issues an I-94 with the date that it expires. Each classification has requirements. We are providing information in this section about some of the most used classifications. For further information, please contact us.
