Additional Immigration Options
Naturalization (Citizenship)
Other ways to become a U.S. citizen include: being born in the U.S. or its territories, being born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent, or being an LPR child when your parent naturalizes.
Benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen include the right to vote, holding certain government jobs, being able to travel outside the U.S. for extended periods of time without risking losing your permanent residence, and the ability to petition for your parents, siblings, and married children. LPRs, on the other hand, can only petition for spouses and unmarried children.
Please contact one of our immigration attorneys for more information about becoming a U.S. citizen.
Non-immigrant Visas (Tourist, etc.)
If you or a loved one are interested in visiting the U.S. temporarily, then a non-immigrant visa may be an option for you. Non-Immigrant visas allow someone to enter the country temporarily for a specific purpose, such as tourism, business, or study. There are many different types of non-immigrant visas, each with its own requirements and restrictions.
Some of the most common non-immigrant visas include:
-
B-2 visas (tourist/visitor visas): These visas allow foreign nationals to travel to the U.S. for tourism, pleasure, visit family or friends, or for medical treatment.
-
EB-5 (investor visas): These visas allow foreign nationals to enter the U.S. by investing in a business that creates jobs in the U.S. The EB-5 also includes a path to permanent residency.
-
F-1 and M-1 visas (student visas): These visas allow foreign nationals to study in the U.S.
-
H-1B visas (specialty occupation visas): These visas allow U.S. employers to hire foreign nationals in specialty occupations that require a bachelor’s degree or higher.
-
J-1 visas (exchange visitor visas): These visas allow foreign nationals to participate in exchange visitor programs, such as work and study programs.
-
L-1 visas (intracompany transferee visas): These visas allow multinational companies to transfer employees from their offices in other countries to their offices in the U.S.
The requirements for obtaining a non-immigrant visa vary depending on the type of visa. Reach out to us today for more information on non-immigrant visas.
