Visas Available for Immigrants in South Carolina

 

The Mike Kelly Law Group helps clients secure the proper resources to maintain legal resident status in the United States. We can help you obtain the following visas:

 

  • B1 and B2 visitor.  A B1 visa enables people to travel to the United States for business purposes, including conducting negotiations, making investments or purchases, attending meetings, hiring employees, and soliciting sales.  A B2 visa, or tourist visa, is required of foreign nationals who wish to visit the United States for leisure or tourism for a period of longer than 90 days. A B2 visa can also be issued to someone coming to the United States to undergo medical treatment.

 

  • F1 student.  F1 student visas are issued to foreign students who will be living in the United States to study full-time at an academic program or institution. It is possible to change schools while studying on an F1 visa without leaving the country, and the student may stay in the United States for as long as he or she is enrolled in school.

 

  • H worker.  H-1B and H-2B visas can be issued to citizens of other countries who will be working in the United States for an extended period of time. Generally, H-1B visas require a bachelor’s degree and are issued to those possessing specialized skills.  H-2B visas allow skilled and unskilled workers to enter the United States for temporary or seasonal non-agricultural jobs.

 

  • L-1 work transfer.  An L-1 Intra-company Transfer Work Visa may be issued to a person employed outside the United States who is being transferred to a United States branch or affiliate. In most cases, people issued this visa possess specialized knowledge or are executives or managers.

 

  • Others visas. A number of other visas allow foreign nationals extended stay in the United States.  Our immigration attorneys can advise you as to which visas you may be eligible to obtain based on your specific circumstances.
