Temporary Visas for Travel, Study, and Work in the United States

We assist individuals with non-immigrant U.S. visas for short-term travel, education, and temporary employment. Whether your goal is to visit the United States, pursue academic studies, participate in an exchange program, or work temporarily under a qualifying category, careful preparation is essential.

Our team provides strategic guidance throughout the visa process, helping clients prepare strong applications, organize supporting documentation, and understand the limitations and conditions attached to each visa type.

Common non-immigrant visas we assist with include B-1/B-2 visitor visas, F-1 student visas, J-1 exchange visitor visas, and TN professional visas.

B-1/B-2 Visitor Visas

Visitor visas allow individuals to enter the United States for temporary purposes only. Selecting the correct category and clearly demonstrating intent are critical to avoiding refusals.

B-1 Business Visitor Visa

The B-1 visa is designed for individuals traveling to the U.S. for legitimate business-related activities that do not involve employment. Permissible activities may include attending meetings or conferences, consulting with business partners, negotiating contracts, or participating in professional events.

The B-1 visa does not authorize employment in the United States and does not allow the visa holder to receive compensation from a U.S. source. It also does not permit hands-on professional services, paid performances, or enrollment in academic programs. Strict compliance with the scope of permitted activities is essential.

B-2 Tourist Visitor Visa

The B-2 visa is intended for individuals visiting the United States for tourism or personal reasons, such as vacations, visiting family or friends, or receiving medical treatment. This category may also cover participation in unpaid recreational, cultural, or social activities.

Applicants must demonstrate that their stay is temporary and that they maintain strong ties outside the United States.

J-1 Exchange Visitor Visas

The J-1 visa supports approved exchange programs, including internships, research positions, training programs, academic exchanges, and cultural initiatives. Each J-1 category has specific requirements and conditions.

We assist clients with understanding eligibility, coordinating documentation, and preparing the necessary forms, including guidance related to program sponsorship and compliance considerations.

F-1 Student Visas

The F-1 visa allows international students to pursue full-time academic studies at approved U.S. institutions. The process involves admission to an SEVP-certified school and demonstrating financial and academic readiness.

We support students through the visa application process and provide guidance on maintaining status, as well as planning for practical training opportunities where applicable.

TN Professional Visas (Canada & Mexico)

The TN visa allows eligible Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the United States in designated professional occupations under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA). This category is commonly used by professionals in fields such as engineering, science, education, and healthcare.

We assist professionals and employers with determining eligibility, preparing documentation, and navigating the TN application process.
