What is a Non-Immigrant Visa?
A non-immigrant visa is issued to people with permanent residence outside of the U.S. who wish to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis, either for tourism, medical treatment, business, or educational purposes.
There are over 20 categories of non-immigrant visas, each with its own requirements, rules and exceptions.
How to Get a Non-Immigrant Visa Waiver
There are three main arguments you will need to make when applying for a non-immigrant visa waiver after being refused a visa in the past. Crafting these arguments properly takes experience that our team of New York immigration lawyers at McBean Law can offer – partnering with an experienced immigration lawyer is key to submitting a quality application.
1. You Are Not a Risk of Harm to Society
Your background is of great importance to immigration officers. It is important that you do not have a criminal record anywhere, including the U.S., your country of origin, or anywhere else abroad.
It is also important to prove moral goodness regardless of your past misrepresentation record. Although you have misrepresentation or fraud on your immigration record, good third person testimonies can help show the government that you are not a risk to U.S. society and are otherwise a good person.
2. You Understand the Seriousness of Your Past Violation
If you have a record of misrepresentation or fraud, it is important to admit your mistake and own up to it, as well as to prove that you have been rehabilitated by taking responsibility for your past actions.
In a lot of cases, taking responsibility for your mistake and committing to not repeating it is enough to boost your chances if you can prove that your current positives outweigh the past negatives.
3. You Are Coming to the U.S. on a Legitimate and Temporary Basis
You must prove that you are coming to the U.S. for a temporary or limited purpose, and that purpose is targeted. You will also need to prove that you intend to return to your country of origin once this targeted purpose has been fulfilled.
For example, if you are coming to the U.S. on an F-1 student visa, you must prove that you intend to return to your country of origin once your studies are complete.
