Visa Options

One of the nice things about immigration is that an individual may have multiple options for a given circumstance. This is especially true when dealing with business or employment visas. For example a talented athlete could apply for an O visa. Or they could apply for a H1-B specialty occupation visa or maybe a P visa. The option you choose to go with will be heavily dependent on the individual circumstances of your case.

A qualified attorney will help you determine which is the best option for you to pursue. Each of these various types of visas have their positive and negative aspects and you need to be aware of each one.

Granted there are some circumstances when only one visa is available to you. For example, if you are coming to the US as a student then the student visa is probably the only option available to you. Any other visa type will likely be denied by the immigration services.

And then there are those circumstances when not a single visa applies. Your best bet is probably the tourist visa at this point and that is good for 90 days and will be granted as long as the immigration services do not believe you intend to stay beyond the 90 days!
