Temporary Visas
In addition to processing visa applications for permanent residence, our office also handles a wide array of temporary visa applications. (For a list of the more popular temporary visas out there, please see our Articles Section for more information.) While temporary visas are generally limited in duration and purpose, they are processed in a significantly shorter time than immigrant visas (which can take years) and are appropriate for those who do not intend on living here permanently or who desire to work temporarily in the U.S. to fill a short-term need. Our attorneys have handled a wide variety of temporary visas including but not limited to:
- B1/B2 Visitor Visas
- H-1B Specialist Visas
- L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visas
- Extraordinary Ability Visas
- P Visas for Artists, Entertainers, and Athletes
While applying for these types of visas sounds simple in theory, there are a number of statutes, regulations, policy memoranda, as well as court decisions out there that affect how these applications are decided. It is not just a matter of reading the instructions on the form. For more than a decade, we have successfully procured visas for foreign national individuals as well as for companies in need of employing these individuals. For expert assistance in fulfilling your short term immigration needs, contact our office.
