Choose the right visa type
You need to match your situation with the US visa rules. It is important to choose a visa that will provide the shortest path to immigration.
Fill out the forms correctly
This is the first step in applying for a visa. Many people are rejected due to mistakes and inaccuracies. It’s a shame to get a refusal after months of waiting.
Collect a full package of documents
You need to know exactly what documents will be required in your case and what else they may request. Documents are your rear. This is the only way you can confirm your right to a visa.
Prepare for the interview
The interview at the embassy is a crucial final stage. It is important to predict what questions the visa officer will ask and prepare the right answers.

Frequently Asked Questions
In which cases can a green card be obtained without an employer?

What is the difference between H-1B, L-1, and O-1?
H-1B is a work visa for specialists with higher education.
L-1 is a visa for transferring employees within an international company.
O-1 is a visa for specialists with extraordinary achievements that requires proof of success.
Can the H-1B visa be changed to a green card?
Yes, if the employer files a petition for a green card under the EB-2 or EB-3 categories. However, you must meet the requirements for these visa categories.
If I want to open an IT business in the U.S., which visa is best to apply for?
Two options to consider: L-1 visa if you already have a business outside the U.S., or EB-2 NIW visa if your business project will significantly benefit the U.S.
