Helping Clients Enter & Stay Within the U.S.A.

Your passport can help you travel to foreign countries temporarily, such as on vacation. If you want to stay in the United States for longer as a foreigner, though, then you may be required to first obtain a visa in addition to a passport. A visa is a travel document granted on a conditional basis, such as if you intend to find and hold gainful employment in the United States while here or a student visa for a student granted admission to a University.

The Law Office of Joanne M. Fakhre, P.A., and our Jacksonville visa attorney can help you obtain a visa that best fits your travel or immigration situation. Attorney Joanne Fakhre is a two-time immigrant herself, being born in Lebanon, growing up in Grenada, becoming a naturalized British Citizen, and migrating to the United States. If there has ever been a visa lawyer who understands the nuances of immigration processes firsthand, it is her!

Types of Visas

Every immigrant who comes to the United States is different from the next, of course. To this end, the type of visa you require to enter the country will be specific to your case. There are nearly 200 different types of visas available in the U.S. It is our job as your legal representatives to help determine the correct one for your situation, giving you the best chance of immigration success.

U.S. visas are divided into two main categories:

  • Nonimmigrant visas: For those intending to stay temporarily (a few years).
  • Immigrant visas: For individuals wanting permanent residence, which can be more challenging to obtain.

Common U.S. visa subcategories include:

  • Work visas
  • Student visas
  • Business visas
  • Investor visas
  • Religious worker visas

The visas listed here represent only a small portion of the various visas recognized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Even within categories, like work visas, there are many variations.
