Foreign nationals who apply for visitor visas must be able to demonstrate that they do not have the intent to remain in the United States at the end of the authorized period. The U.S. Consular Office, which falls under the U.S. Department of State, presumes that all nonimmigrant visa applicants have immigrant intents (the intent to immigrate to the United States on a permanent basis). This is a rebuttable presumption in which all applicants must overcome. The primary method of overcoming this presumption is to show that the applicant has economic and family ties in the home country. For the same reason, we advise applicants to file the B-1 and B-2 visas in their home country. However, our experienced Houston B-1 work visitor visa attorneys and our B-2 visitor visa lawyers have successfully obtained B-1 and B-2 visas from third countries, depending on the applicant’s situation.

B-1 visitor visas allow foreign employees and business visitors to come to the United States to engage in business activities or to research on business and investment opportunities for a specific duration. B-2 visitors allow foreign nationals to come to the U.S. to visit pleasure and vacationing. Usually, visas are granted for a period of one, three, five, or ten years period. However, at the port of entry, visitors are authorized to stay in the U.S. for up to 180 days. In many circumstances, B-1 and B-2 visitor visas may file and obtain an extension at the end of the initial 180 days period. The B-2 extension application must demonstrate that the applicant does not immigrant intent. Although it is not required under the Foreign Affair Manual (FAM), it is advisable that visitor visas should be applied for in the alien’s home country. B-1 and B-2 visitor visas should be carefully prepared by an experienced U.S. B-1 visitor visa attorneys or an experienced U.S. B-2 visitor visa lawyer. Visitor visa applications are usually denied because the applicant failed to show ties to the home country; and thus, does not overcome the presumption that he or she has immigrant intent.

Non-immigrant visas, generally, are temporary visas in which applicants apply to come to the U.S. for a particular purpose and for a specified amount of time. With the exceptions of a few categories, such as H-1B and L-1A and L-1B visas, most non-immigrant visa applicants must demonstrate that he or she does not have the intent to permanently reside in the U.S. All non-immigrant visa applicants are presumed to have immigrant intent. Therefore, it is up to the applicant to overcome the immigrant-intent presumption.

The foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen admitted with a K-3 visa is authorized to remain in the U.S. for a period of 2 years specified on his/her Form I-94.
