Entering the U.S. with an IV allows the bearer complete freedom of choice as what the bearer may do in the U.S. and for how long. An NIV is for a specific purpose and time limit in the U.S., such as a short term visit, study or temporary work with a specific employer. Please see our nonimmigrant visa page for more information.
