Exploring Temporary Options for Study, Travel, and Visits
In addition to work-based visa categories, the United States offers several non-immigrant visas for individuals seeking to study, visit, or temporarily stay in the country for other personal or educational purposes. At the Law Offices of Kelly H. Bu, we assist international students, visitors, and dependents in obtaining and maintaining valid non-immigrant status.

Individuals seeking to pursue vocational or non-academic studies
