Obtaining a green card

Making sense of the preference categories

Whether you’re just visiting the United States on a nonimmigrant basis or hoping to live here permanently, you’ll need to know about visas and how to get them in order to remain in the country legally.

All visa applicants should be aware that having a valid visa does not guarantee you entry into the United States. Upon arrival in the United States, you’ll receive a form I-94 “Arrival-Departure Record” from the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). (You can find out more about this in Chapter 1.) This document states the amount of time you’re allowed to remain in the United States legally.
