A: There are more than 20 nonimmigrant visa types for people traveling to the United States temporarily. There are many more types of immigrant visas for those coming to live permanently in the U.S.  The type of Visa you need is determined by the purpose of your intended travel.  For an overview of visa types, please see Immigration Classifications and Visa Categories  on the USCIS Website. For specific information about each type of visa, please review the information available on the Visas page                 Temporary Visitors to the U.S. FYI: Visa types for NonImmigrants ---->http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/temp_1305.html Quote: Nonimmigrant visas are for international travelers, (citizens of other countries), coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (airport, for example) and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security immigration inspector to enter the U.S. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.                   For Immigrants ONLY FYI: Visa types for Immigrants --->http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1326.html                              ........................... FYI: Visa (document)   Overview----> Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_%28document%29 *A visa (short for the Latin carta visa, lit. "the document having been seen") is a document issued by a country giving an individual permission to formally request entrance to the country during a given period of time and for certain purposes (see below for caveats and exceptions) and usually stamped or glued inside of a passport, or sometimes issued as separate pieces of paper. *Many countries require possession of a valid passport and visa as a condition of entry for foreigners, though there exist exemptions (see below for examples of such schemes). *Visas are associated with the request for permission to enter (or exit) a country, and are thus, for some countries, distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country. FYI: Types of Visas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_%28document%29#Types_of_visa * Common types of visas are: 1-transit visa, usually valid for 3 days or less, for passing through the country to a third destination. 2-tourist visa, for a limited period of leisure travel, no business activities allowed. Some countries do not issue tourist visas. Saudi Arabia introduced tourist visas only in 2004 although it did (and still does) issue pilgrimage visas for Hajj pilgrims. 3-business visa, for engaging in commerce in the country. These visas generally preclude permanent employment, for which a work visa would be required. 4-temporary worker visa, for approved employment in the host country. These are generally more difficult to obtain but valid for longer periods of time than a business visa. Examples of these are the United States' H-1B and L-1 visas. 5-on-arrival visa, granted immediately prior to entering the country, such as at an airport or border control post. This is distinct from not requiring a visa at all, as the visitor must still obtain the visa before they can even try to pass through immigration. The on-arrival visa usually is nothing more than an entrance fee, though the visitors can still be denied entry even with a visa. 6-spousal visa, granted to the spouse of a resident or citizen of a given country, in order to enable the couple to settle in that country. Examples include the United Kingdom's EEA family permit.                          ---------------------- *Less common visas include: 7-student visa, which allows its holder to study at an institution of higher learning in the issuing country. Students studying in Algeria, however, are issued tourist visas. 8-working holiday visa , for individuals traveling between nations offering a working holiday programme, allowing young people to undertake temporary work while traveling. 9-diplomatic visa (sometimes official visa), which confers diplomatic status on its holder and is normally only available to bearers of diplomatic passports. 10-courtesy visa issued to representatives of foreign governments or international organizations who do not qualify for diplomatic status but do merit expedited, courteous treatment. A courtesy visa does not normally confer privileges or immunities. 11-journalist visa, which some countries require of people in that occupation when travelling for their respective news organizations. Countries which insist on this include Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, the United States (I-visa) and Zimbabwe. 12-fiancee visa, granted for a limited period prior to intended marriage based on a proven relationship with a citizen of the destination country. For example, a German woman who wishes to marry an American man would obtain a Fiancee Visa (also known as a K-1 visa) to allow her to enter the United States. 13-immigrant visa, granted for those intending to immigrate to the issuing country. They usually are issued for a single journey as the holder will, depending on the country, later be issued a permanent resident identification card which will allow the traveller to enter to the issuing country an unlimited number of times. (for example, the United States Permanent Resident Card)...                         จากคุณ : กริชนาคราช - [ 10 มิ.ย. 50 21:43:15 ]
