The United States is a land of opportunity, attracting individuals from around the world seeking better education, career prospects, and quality of life.

Understanding U.S. Visa Types
The U.S. offers various visa categories tailored to different purposes. Here are some of the most common visa types:
- H-1B Visa: This non-immigrant visa allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise, typically in fields like IT, engineering, and medicine.
- F-1 Student Visa: For international students wishing to study at U.S. colleges or universities, this visa permits part-time work and can lead to optional practical training (OPT) after graduation.
- Green Card (Permanent Residency): This allows immigrants to live and work permanently in the U.S. Green cards can be obtained through family sponsorship, employment, or special categories such as asylum or diversity lottery.
- B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa: These non-immigrant visas are for individuals traveling to the U.S. for business (B-1) or tourism (B-2), usually allowing stays of up to six months.
Frequently asked question:
