Non-Immigrant Visas
Travel to the U.S. for Work, Study, Travel, or Family
Unlike immigrant visas, which pave the way for permanent residence in the United States, a non-immigrant visa allows you to live in the country for a defined period of time, whether for employment, study, or travel. This temporary status gives you the kind of flexibility that’s necessary for all sorts of professional or personal pursuits. Our knowledgeable team at Eastbridge has years of experience assisting clients in determining which non-immigrant visa best aligns with their individual plans and goals—whether you're looking to secure employment, pursue educational opportunities, or engage in business-related travel.
Our dedicated team will support you throughout the entire process, from identifying the appropriate visa category that suits your goals, to guiding you through the application procedures. Having the help of an experienced immigration attorney means that you’re well-prepared and informed every step of the way. Let us help you navigate the immigration process with confidence, ensuring that your journey to the United States is as smooth and successful as possible.
Our attorneys offer free initial evaluations over the phone, as well as longer, situation-specific paid appointments for more detailed guidance.
