Visas

A visa is a permit for a non-U.S. citizen to visit, study, work, or live in the United States, either temporarily or permanently, that is endorsed by the government. Visas fall under one of two primary categories:

• Immigrant visas, also known as green cards
• Nonimmigrant visas

• As an employee of a U.S. company
• As an investor in a U.S. company
• As a family member of a U.S. citizen
• As a family member of a permanent U.S. resident
• As a worker whose skills are needed in the United States
• As an individual who seeks asylum or refuge in the United States
• As a long-term resident who has lived in the U.S. for 10+ years

There are a limited number of diversity visas granted through a lottery that are separate from family or employment-based visas.
