Temporary Visitors for Business and Temporary Visitors for Travel/Pleasure

A “Visitor” visa is a non-immigrant visa for persons desiring to enter into the United States temporarily for business, and for pleasure (touring) and for medical and health related treatments. Visitors are permitted to stay up to six months. Visitors are not aloud to accept employment during their stay as a non-immigrant. If a visitor decides to change their purpose of their stay, they should apply for a change from non-immigrant status once they are here to another immigrant status depending on their circumstance.
