Temporary Stays in the United States
Not everyone who visits the United States wants to live here. Often, people come for temporary purposes, such as travel, schooling or business. In these instances, non-immigrant visas are appropriate. Unfortunately, understanding which particular visa your trip requires and completing the appropriate paperwork can be difficult.
My name is Vard R. Johnson. Over the past 27 years, I have devoted my legal career to helping clients with immigration issues. During this time, I have handled nearly all available non-immigrant visas for clients. Visit my office in Boston to discuss which visa is right for you.
