Immigration Lawyer in Tampa,
Orlando, New York, Albuquerque & El Paso
The United States of America is a nation founded upon
the courage and dreams of immigrants. To this day, the
USA’s economic, social, and political opportunities
attract hopeful immigrants from around the world.
Faced with millions of immigrants wishing to enter the
US—as well as the desire to keep our nation safe—the
US government has passed more restrictive immigration
laws to regulate the comings and goings of international
visitors and immigrants. Even so, foreign nationals are
still able to enter this country through a variety of
immigration visas
and non-immigrant visas. For any type of visa, the counsel
of an experienced immigration lawyer is recommended to
help foreign nationals understand the paperwork, requirements,
advantages, and limitations of US immigration law.

family relationship or occupation. These two primary immigration
methods are outlined briefly below.

Family Visas

Permanent Residence through Employment
Non-Immigrant Visas
Non-immigrant visas are issued for the specific purpose
of the foreign national's temporary visit. Many of these
visas require a petition to be filed and approved by the
Immigration & Naturalization Service in the United States
before the consular officer can issue the visa.
The difficulty or ease with which a visa is issued is
determined by the visa category, and at times, the economic
and political conditions of the foreign national's home
country.
Following is a list of the Non-Immigrant Visa categories
and links to their descriptions in our U.S. Immigration
Visa Guide.
