NYC Temporary Visas Immigration Lawyer
New York City immigration lawyer Cheryl David’s skillful handling of Temporary Visas, such as B Visas and Visa Waiver Programs helps her clients feel relaxed and comfortable. A visa is a conditional authorization given by a country authority for a person who is not a citizen of that country to enter and remain for a specified duration. Each country attaches conditions to visas regarding the duration of stay, territory covered, validity dates, and a number of visits. Visas are associated with the request for permission to enter a country so a visa is subject to permission by an immigration official at the time of actual entry and can be revoked at any time.
There are various kinds of temporary visas. The most common types of short-stay visas include:
- Transit visa
- Short-stay or visitor visas
- Private visas
- Tourist visas
- Medical visas
- Business visas
- Working holiday visas
- Athletic or artistic visas
- Cultural exchange visas
- Refugee visas
The most common types of long-stay visas include:
- Student visas
- Temporary worker visas
- Journalist visas
- Asylum visas
H-1B
One type of temporary visa requiring travel documents is the HB-1 employment visa. The H-1B is a nonimmigrant temporary work visa that allows employers to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations on a temporary basis. A “specialty occupation” requires theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a certain technical field. The H-1B visa requires the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in work experience as a minimum. The job offered must require a bachelor’s degree to qualify.
