A guide to temporary visas for immigrants in the United States

As an immigrant in the United States, it can be confusing to navigate the different types of visas available. Temporary visas are a common option for those who want to visit, study, or work in the United States for a limited time.

In this guide, we will explore the most important temporary visas and what you need to know about them.

The different types of temporary visas

There are several types of temporary visas, including B1/B2 visas for tourism or business, F1 visas for students, and H1-B visas for skilled workers. Each visa has its own requirements and limitations.

B1/B2 visas

B1/B2 visas are most commonly used for tourism or business activities. The visa allows you to stay in the United States for up to 6 months. To apply for this visa, you will need to provide proof of your intent to return to your home country, such as a job offer or a letter from your employer.

F1 visas

F1 visas are designed for international students who want to attend a school in the United States. The visa allows you to work on-campus part-time but does not allow off-campus employment without permission from the school. Additionally, the visa requires you to maintain a full-time academic schedule.

H1-B visas

H1-B visas are for highly skilled workers who have a job offer from a U.S. employer. The visa allows you to work in the United States for up to 6 years. To apply, your employer must demonstrate that you have a specific skill set that is necessary for the job.
