U.S. Non-immigrant Visas ES

Are you considering visiting, working or studying in the U.S. and not sure what visas or visa you need to obtain?  Under the U.S. immigration system there are two main categories of visas namely, the non-immigrant visas and immigrant visas (commonly known as green cards). If you are a non-U.S. citizen or legal permanent residence (green card), you will need a Visa to enter the U.S. unless you are a national from one of the visa waiver countries.  Obtaining a visa is generally a first step you need to take when you plan your trip to the U.S. For those who are already in the U.S. with a valid visa, gaining a different visa within the non-immigrant visas categories is possible if you like to change your status from one visa category to another such as from a F-1 student visa to a work based visa.
