nonimmigrant visa

A visa type is determined by the applicant's purpose. Immigrant visas are issued to aliens who pursue permanent living in the United States, while nonimmigrant visas are required of aliens to temporarily stay in the United States for study, work, tourism, business, medical care and so on. Once issued, the visa is placed in the traveler’s passport.
