Understanding U.S. Visas

The U.S. visa system divides into non-immigrant (temporary stay) and immigrant (permanent stay) categories. Each requires different forms, fees, and evidence.

B1/B2 Visitor Visas – tourism, visiting relatives, or attending short business meetings. Applicants must show clear purpose, travel funds, and intent to return to Georgia.
F-1 / M-1 Student Visas – require acceptance (I-20 form) from a U.S. institution, SEVIS payment, and proof of tuition and living funds.
J-1 Exchange Visas – for internships, cultural or research exchange, sponsored by approved U.S. programs.
H-1B / L-1 Work Visas – employer sponsorship, labor certification, and proof of professional qualifications.
K / Immigrant Visas – family reunification, marriage, or permanent residence.
