LEARN ABOUT IMMIGRANT VISAS

Immigrant visas are documents issued by the U.S. government that allow foreign nationals to enter the United States and live permanently as lawful permanent residents. Unlike nonimmigrant visas, which are temporary, immigrant visas provide a pathway to a Green Card and eventually U.S. citizenship. These visas are granted to individuals who qualify through family relationships, employment opportunities, or other special categories established by U.S. immigration law.

There are several types of immigrant visas available depending on your situation. The main categories include family-based immigrant visas for relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, employment-based immigrant visas for workers with job offers or extraordinary abilities, and special immigrant visas for religious workers, certain juveniles, and other specific groups. The full list of immigrant visas also includes the Diversity Visa Lottery program for individuals from underrepresented countries. Each type has its own eligibility requirements and application process.

Once issued, an immigrant visa is typically valid for six months. During this time, you must travel to the United States and complete the entry process at a port of entry. After admission, your immigrant visa leads to lawful permanent resident status, which does not expire in the same way—your Green Card will need to be renewed every 10 years, but your status as a permanent resident remains valid as long as you maintain eligibility.

The key difference is the intent behind each visa. Immigrant visas are for individuals who plan to live permanently in the United States, while nonimmigrant visas are for temporary stays such as tourism, study, or short-term work. Immigrant work visas, for example, allow foreign workers to remain in the U.S. indefinitely, whereas nonimmigrant work visas like the H-1B require eventual departure or a change of status. Our immigrant and nonimmigrant visas attorneys can help you determine which option is best for your situation.
