Tourist Visas

What is a Non-Immigrant Temporary Visa?

A non-immigrant is classified as someone who legally enters the U.S. on a temporary basis. A temporary visa allows a non-immigrant to stay in America for a specific length of time. After their time is up, they must leave the country. An example of a non-immigrant would be a tourist, a business visitor, someone seeking medical treatment, a fiancée of an American citizen, an international student or an athlete from an international league, who is participating in a sporting competition.

Applying for a B-1 Temporary Business Visitor Visa

If you would like to come to the U.S. on a temporary basis for professional, educational or temporary business purposes, Cima Law Group can assist you with your application for a non-immigrant B-1 Temporary Business Visitor Visa.

This type of visa is ideal for the individual or professional who is:

• Participating in short-term job training
• Attending a convention, trade show, educational workshop or conference
• Consulting or negotiating with business partners
• Immediately transiting through the U.S. while en route to a foreign destination
• Conducting independent educational or medical research; lecturing or speaking

The visitor must provide evidence that s/he has a residence abroad, plus strong family or business ties that compel him or her to return home after his/her visit. The business visitor must have adequate funds to sustain himself during his time in the U.S.
