The Types of Visas

We often assist with visa applications and related matters. There are many different types of visas available to foreign nationals. The visa you may need will depend on your situation and what you plan to do in the US. Our Los Angeles immigration lawyers can help you determine which is right for you.

Common types of visas include: 

• Family visas: These are available to the immediate relatives of US citizens and lawful permanent residents. 
• Work visas: You can generally obtain one of these if you have a job offer from a US company. 
• Student visas: You can get one of these if you gain admittance to a university or other institution of learning in the US. 
• Tourist visas: If you want to visit the US for tourism, you can apply for various available visas. 
• Investor visas: These are an option for you if you are interested in investing in any kind of US business.

The Difference Between a Visa and a Green Card 

Put simply, a green card grants residency, while a visa is for a temporary stay in the US. Visas allow you to spend time in the US for work, school, and tourism. On the other hand, a green card gives you the right to live and work in the US permanently and allows you to eventually apply for citizenship. 

Defenses Against Removal 

If you face the threat of removal, do not despair. You have defense options.

These include:

• Seeking asylum by demonstrating how removal to your home country would put you at risk of harm or persecution
• Obtaining withholding of removal or protection under provisions set by the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
• Securing cancellation of removal by demonstrating your good moral character to an immigration court
• Adjusting your status to become a lawful permanent resident

Your best defense option will depend on your situation. Should you face removal, do not hesitate to contact our firm to learn about your rights and potential legal protections.
