I-Visa Entitlements

This visa allows its holder to work in the U.S. albeit temporarily. The I-Visa is usually granted for the duration of the applicant’s job status. In simple terms, this means that as long as the applicant still has his/her job, the individual can work and remain in the U.S. Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age may also apply for an I visa to join their spouse or parent in the US. Accompanying spouses and children are entitled to study in the United States but are not entitled to undertake any employment without obtaining an appropriate work visa.
