How do I move to the United States?
Immigration is the legal process for you to move to the United States and acquire status in the United States.
If you who wish to move to the United States, you must apply for immigrant status or non-immigrant status. You can apply to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), United States Department of State (US DOS) or United States Department of Homeland Security (US DHS).
You must be a foreign national (or “nonresident alien”) to apply for a US immigrant visa (IV) or US nonimmigrant visa (NIV). You are a foreign national if you are not a US citizen, US national nor US Green Card holder.
How does it work?
There are two types of statuses or visas for foreign nationals to those interested in living and working in the US:
Immigrant intent visas and Non-immigrant intent visas. There are also other types of status in the United States which are not considered immigrant status or nonimmigrant, such as refugee status or asylum status.
What visa options are available to me?
There are many different visa options available to you if you wish to live and work in the US.
Finding the appropriate visa depends on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, your intended duration of time in the US, the purpose of your stay in the US, and your experience and qualifications.
