An immigrant visa (Green Card) grants the privilege of living and working permanently in the United States. A nonimmigrant visa (US Visa) is issued to persons with permanent residence outside the U.S. but who wish to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis, for example, tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, or study. For more information, see US Visas (Nonimmigrant Visas), Green Card Issues (US Immigrant Visas, US Immigration), or US Visa FAQs (Nonimmigrant Visas).
