US Immigration
The process of emigrating to the U.S. is a complex one. Whether you are considering this life-changing decision for personal or business reasons, you need specialist legal advice to navigate your way through the myriad of changing laws and restrictions.
Each visa classification contains rigid visa categories and each category has specific eligibility requirements. If you don't already meet the requirements of a desired category, then it is up to you to change your situation so that you do. Bennetts can help you understand how the laws work and can assist you in seeking your U.S. visa.
There are basically four ways non-U.S. citizens can legally enter the United States:
-
the Visa Waiver Program (VWP)
-
Non-Immigrant Visas – temporary visitors (work, student, visitor, etc.)
-
Immigrant Visas – lawful permanent residents
- Asylum seekers / refugees
