Non Immigration Visas
Nonimmigrant visas are issued for the specific purpose of the foreign national's temporary visit. Many of these visas require a petition to be filed and approved by the Immigration & Naturalization Service in the United States before the consular officer can issue the visa.
The difficulty or ease with which a visa is issued is determined by the visa category, and at times, the economic and political conditions of the foreign national's home country.
Following is a list of the Non-Immigrant Visa categories and links to their descriptions in our U.S. Immigration Visa Guide.
