A visa is permission granted and issued by another country for you to enter that country. Permission to enter another country is the sole prerogative of that country. There are several categories of visas. The requirements and processing times for your visa will depend on what you intend to do while you are abroad: visit, study or work.

Yes, all countries have visa fees. These vary from country to country and are levied in accordance with your purpose of entry. Visas for tourism are the least expensive, while those for permanent residency or working are more expensive.

An immigrant (also called a “lawful permanent resident”) is a foreign national who has been granted the privilege of living and working permanently in the United States. If you want to become an immigrant you must go through a multi-step process. Contact us for more information.

A visa does not guarantee entry into the U.S. A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to the U.S. port-of-entry, and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. immigration inspector authorizes or denies admission to the U.S.

Initially, these cards were green, then red, white and blue. Nowadays, they are pink, but, unlike the color, the term “Green Card” has remained. Its main purpose is to identify the holder as a permanent resident of the United States of America. Obtaining a Green Card is not easy. First, you must find someone who wants to sponsor you (a close relative or a well-established company) so that you can come to the United States. You must also be able to prove that you are eligible in one of the available categories to obtain a permanent residence by meeting specific criteria. If you are not in the United States already, you must then apply for a visa through the American Embassy in your country of origin. The law provides many categories for permanent residency. Your profile must match one of these categories in order to be eligible for a Green Card.

An immigrant visa grants the privilege of living and working permanently in the United States. A nonimmigrant visa is issued to persons with permanent residence outside the U.S. but who wish to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis, for example, tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, or study.

To become a legal permanent resident (or green card holder), you must first be admitted as an immigrant. The most common methods for obtaining an immigrant visa are:
1) through family relationship with a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, or
2) through employment. For more information, contact us.
