Immigration Services
We advise on immigrant and non-immigrant visa options for both the USA and UAE.
USA Immigration Services (Visas)
Immigrant and non-immigrant visas are two different categories of visas for individuals who want to come to the United States for various purposes. We provide advice on both:
Non-Immigrant Visas:
We can help you:
Identify your purpose: Determine the reason for your visit to the U.S. Different non-immigrant visa categories are designed for various purposes such as tourism, work, study, business, or cultural exchange.
Select the right visa category: Choose the visa category that best matches your purpose. Some common non-immigrant visa types include B-1/B-2 (tourism and business), H-1B (temporary work), F-1 (student), J-1 (exchange visitor), and L-1 (intracompany transferee).
Check eligibility: Review the specific eligibility requirements for your chosen visa category on the official U.S. Department of State website or consult with the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country.
Gather required documentation: Prepare all the necessary documents, including a valid passport, visa application form DS-160, a visa photo, and any supporting documents specific to your visa type (e.g., job offer letter, enrollment letter from a U.S. school).
Pay the application fee: Pay the non-refundable visa application fee, which varies depending on the visa category.
Schedule an interview: Most non-immigrant visa applicants are required to attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Schedule your interview well in advance, as there may be waiting times.
Attend the interview: Be prepared to answer questions about your travel plans, ties to your home country, and the purpose of your visit. Provide honest and concise answers.
Understand the visa process: Familiarize yourself with the visa processing timeline and any additional requirements specific to your home country.
Immigrant Visas:
Determine your eligibility: Immigrant visas are for individuals who intend to live permanently in the U.S. You typically need a family member or employer in the U.S. to sponsor you. Determine which immigrant visa category you qualify for, such as family-sponsored, employment-based, or diversity visa (lottery).
File a petition: Your U.S. sponsor (family member or employer) must file an immigrant petition on your behalf. This petition establishes the qualifying relationship or job offer.
Wait for approval: Once the petition is approved, you will receive a priority date. The waiting time for a visa number to become available can vary widely depending on the category and your country of origin.
Consular processing or Adjustment of Status: Depending on your situation, you may either go through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad or adjust your status if you are already in the U.S. Consult with an immigration attorney or check the USCIS website for guidance on your specific process.
Attend the medical examination and interview: If required, undergo a medical examination and attend an interview as part of the visa application process.
Prepare for the move: Once your immigrant visa is approved, you can prepare for your move to the U.S. This may include securing housing, arranging transportation, and understanding U.S. immigration requirements upon arrival.
Comply with U.S. immigration laws: After entering the U.S. on an immigrant visa, make sure to follow all immigration regulations, such as maintaining your status, applying for a Green Card (if applicable), and fulfilling any sponsor-related obligations.
UAE Immigration Services (Visas)
We advise on short-term and long-term visas for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Visas are a crucial aspect of immigration and travel to the country. The UAE has a well-defined visa system that allows people from various countries to enter and stay in the country for different purposes, such as tourism, employment, business, and family reunification. Here are some key points about visas in the UAE:
Tourist Visas: Tourist visas are issued to individuals who wish to visit the UAE for leisure or tourism purposes. These visas are typically valid for 30 or 90 days and can be extended for an additional 30 days. Tourists can apply for a tourist visa through a UAE-based sponsor like a hotel or a travel agency or use the UAE's online visa system.
Visit Visas: Visit visas are for those who want to visit their friends or family in the UAE. These visas can be obtained by UAE residents who wish to sponsor their relatives or friends for a visit. Visit visas are usually valid for 30 or 90 days, but longer durations are possible in some cases.
Employment Visas: If you intend to work in the UAE, you'll need an employment visa sponsored by your employer. The employer typically initiates the application process, and it involves a series of steps, including obtaining a labor card and a residence permit.
Business Visas: Business visas are granted to individuals who want to conduct business activities in the UAE, such as attending meetings, conferences, or exhibitions. These visas are typically valid for 14 days and can be extended if necessary.
Student Visas: Student visas are for international students who wish to pursue their education in the UAE. To obtain a student visa, you'll need an acceptance letter from a recognized educational institution in the UAE, and the visa is typically valid for the duration of the academic program.
Transit Visas: Transit visas are available for travelers who have a layover in the UAE and wish to leave the airport during their stopover. These visas are usually valid for 48 hours and are granted by the airline upon request.
Residence Visas: Residence visas are issued to individuals who plan to live in the UAE for an extended period, either through employment or family sponsorship. These visas are renewable and allow for long-term stays.
Retirement Visas: In 2021, the UAE introduced a retirement visa scheme that allows retirees to live in the country if they meet certain financial requirements. This is aimed at attracting retirees and long-term expatriates to the UAE.
It's important to note that visa requirements and regulations in the UAE may change, so it's advisable to check or consult with a professional office for the most up-to-date information and application procedures. Additionally, different emirates within the UAE may have slightly different visa processes and requirements, so it's essential to be aware of the specific regulations of the emirate you plan to visit or reside in. We can help with both.
