Temporary Visa Lawyer in Colorado
Temporary visas (Non-immigrant visas) are for international travelers coming to the U.S. temporarily. Travelers come to the U.S. for a wide variety of reasons, including tourism, business, medical treatment and certain types of temporary work.
Some visas are considered ‘dual intent;’ you may attempt to obtain permanent residency (a green card) while under that classification. Most temporary visas, however, require you establish the demonstration of non-immigrant intent. This means you should demonstrate that you have a permanent residence in your home country that you have no intention of abandoning. The duration of time you may spend in the U.S. can range from a few days to several years, depending on the visa.
In most situations, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may accompany you on a derivative visa.
