What Are Nonimmigrant Visas?

Nonimmigrant visas allow foreign nationals to enter the United States temporarily for a specific purpose and limited duration. Unlike immigrant visas leading to green cards, these are designed for temporary stays, with options for extensions or changes of status in many cases.

Common nonimmigrant visa categories handled by Ms. Keppi include:

Visitor Visas (B-1/B-2):

Business, tourism, medical treatment, or pleasure

Student & Exchange Visas (F-1, M-1, J-1)

Academic study, vocational training, and exchange programs

Work-Related Nonimmigrant Visas

H-1B, L-1, E-2, O-1, TN, R-1, and others

Other Categories

Transit (C), crewmember (D), and specialized visas for athletes, artists, journalists, and more
Ms. Keppi assists with initial applications, extensions, changes of status, and consular processing at U.S. embassies abroad.

The Nonimmigrant Visa Process: Step-by-Step

  1. Determine the Appropriate Visa Category
    Evaluate your purpose of travel, qualifications, and eligibility to identify the nonimmigrant visa category that best fits your circumstances.
  2. Gather Supporting Documentation
    Compile the required evidence, including documentation demonstrating your qualifications, ties to your home country (where applicable), and compliance with the requirements of the requested visa classification.
  3. File the Required Petition or Application
    Submit the appropriate forms, such as Form I-129 with USCIS (when required) or Form DS-160 and any supporting documentation through the U.S. Department of State.
  4. Attend the Visa Interview
    Prepare for and attend the required interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy, or, where applicable, complete inspection at a U.S. port of entry.
  5. Maintain Lawful Status and Request Extensions or Changes as Needed
    Comply with the terms of your nonimmigrant status and file timely applications for extensions of stay or changes of status, when eligible.

Ms. Keppi carefully addresses potential issues such as prior overstays, inadmissibility, or insufficient ties to the home country.
