Overview

The temporary visa classification covers a broad range of visas used to enter the United States. Reasons to apply for one of these visas include work, pleasure, or study. Depending on the type of visa received, an individual may spend a few days to several years in the United States.

Butzel's team of immigration law attorneys have years of experience in assisting their clients in their temporary visa applications. Our attorneys understand the level of scrutiny temporary visa applications receive, and they therefore ensure accuracy and guarantee that all documentation meets the requirements when completing the forms. When applying for a temporary visa, interviews at the U.S. embassy or a consulate may be necessary. Butzel attorneys prepare their clients for such questioning and processing. Our attorneys also assist their clients in the preparation and completion of extension applications, if necessary.
