The B-1 and B-2 visa has mistakenly been limited and labeled as the ‘Tourist visa’. However, it is better referred to as the Visitor visa, which extends way beyond the purpose of touring the United States. Rather, the purpose for which a Foreign National can visit the United States or change visa status to a Visitor in the U.S. is vast.

A popular held belief that once a foreign national is granted a visa to the United States its all-smooth sailing through the border. This is unfortunately not true. This short blog will explain the "behind scenes" screenings and audits with U.S. CBP or USCIS that can cause exclusion or removal from the United States that all starts with what appears to be an approved temporary non-immigrant visa at one's U.S. consulate abroad.

H-2B visas are seasonal work visas. Many of our Au-pair clients and Student Visa OPT clients are switching status to H-2B visas due to the need for business to employ professional and skilled workers based on the lack of qualified workers due to ‘ The Great Resignation’ during the COVID pandemic.

Is There ever a Time When Your Visa is Expired but yet your still in status?
The answer is yes! I'll explain.
This is your U.S. Immigration Minute where we give you Immigration Tips & News without the Politics.
Whenever a foreign national travels to the U.S. On a temporary non-immigrant visa, he or she is issued an I-94 record which can be accessed electronically.
As a general rule, the I-94 expiration date always rules over the visa expiration date.
. For instance we had a client whose visa issued by the U.S. Consulate abroad expired without a new application being filed to renew.
.Panic set in, yet I knew the client had travelled frequently on their L non immigrant visa in and out of the U S. Since issuance of their visa.
I had my paralegal go online to check the expiration of
The I-94 as we all waited with bated breath.
The Outcome was a relief. Despite the consulate issued visa expiration, U.S. customs border and patrol had approved our clients’ I-94 to remain in the U.S. for another 3 months beyond visa expiration.
We were able to successfully prepare and file a visa extension timely for 2 more years without any gap or unlawful presence accruing to the applicant; and all done while she remained in the U.S. without issue.
