Immigrant Visas
An immigrant visa is required by anyone seeking to take
up indefinite or permanent residence in the United States. Upon
entry into the United States, an immigrant visa holder is processed
for a Permanent Resident Card (PRC), commonly known as a Green Card.
The holder of a PRC may reside and work in the United States. There
is no requirement that the holder of a PRC apply to become a naturalized
U.S. citizen; he or she may retain his or her citizenship and passport.
However, those seeking to become naturalized U.S. citizens may file
an application after five years; the period is three years if married
to a U.S. citizen.
Tourist/Business Visa
To qualify for a B1 or a B2 visa, you will need to overcome the

Act (INA) that all visa applicants are intending immigrants.
