Visiting the United States

When foreign nationals visit the United States for extended periods of time, they have to file paperwork with the U.S. government to allow them to work or sightsee. Depending on your reason for visiting the U.S., there are two types of forms that may need to be submitted: the B-1 and B-2.

If you need help in reaching your goal of visiting or conducting business in the United States, you should consult an immigration attorney about your options. For more information, contact an Orange County visitor visa lawyer from Garg and Associates, P.C., today at 949-540-6704.

Types of Visitor Visas

There are two main types of visitor visas, B-1 and B-2. B-1 is specifically for a foreign national who wishes to conduct business in the U.S. While there are other business-related visas, the B-1 form is good for someone who just wants to attend conferences or some other temporary task. Additionally, people who come to the U.S. for medical treatment can seek a B-1 visa, as well as individuals who are accompanying the patient.

On the other hand, a B-2 visa is better for someone who wishes to sightsee in the U.S. for an extended period of time or wants to visit family or friends. The visas can be valid for three to six months and can only be used once per year.

The United States can be a beautiful place to visit, as well as a place with many business opportunities. If you or someone you know is interested in applying for a visitor’s visa, you should talk to an attorney about your filing options.
