Immigration Lawyer in Tampa, Orlando, New York, Albuquerque & El Paso
The United States of America is a nation founded upon the courage and dreams of immigrants. To this day, the USA’s economic, social, and political opportunities attract hopeful immigrants from around the world.
Faced with millions of immigrants wishing to enter the US—as well as the desire to keep our nation safe—the US government has passed more restrictive immigration laws to regulate the comings and goings of international visitors and immigrants. Even so, foreign nationals are still able to enter this country through a variety of immigration visas and non-immigrant visas. For any type of visa, the counsel of an experienced immigration lawyer is recommended to help foreign nationals understand the paperwork, requirements, advantages, and limitations of US immigration law.

Permanent Visas
Other than by seeking political asylum, lawful permanent residence (the "green card") is obtained through family relationship or occupation. These two primary immigration methods are outlined briefly below.
» Family Visas
» Permanent Residence through Employment
Non-Immigrant Visas
Non-immigrant 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.
» B-1 - BUSINESS VISITOR
» B-2 - VISITOR FOR PLEASURE
» E-1 - TREATY TRADER
» E-2 - TREATY INVESTOR
