Visitor Visas: Travel And Business In The U.S.
Tourist Visas (B-2)
The B-2 visa allows foreign nationals to enter the United States temporarily for tourism, to visit family or friends, seek medical treatment, or attend social events. While the process may appear simple, visa denials are common when applicants fail to show sufficient ties to their home country or financial readiness.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help applicants prepare strong B-2 visa applications, including:
- Proof of travel purpose and itinerary
- Evidence of financial ability to cover expenses
- Documentation showing ties to the home country (e.g., job, family, property)
Business Visas (B-1)
The B-1 visa is designed for individuals entering the U.S. temporarily for legitimate business activities—such as attending meetings, negotiating contracts, or participating in professional conferences. B-1 visa holders are not permitted to engage in direct employment or labor in the U.S.
We work with clients to clarify the scope of allowable activities and prepare documentation that supports a clear, lawful purpose for their business visit. This includes:
- Invitation letters from U.S. companies
- Conference or meeting details
- Proof of ties to a foreign employer and return obligations
Student Visas: Studying In The United States
F-1 Visas (Academic Students)
The F-1 visa is for individuals who have been accepted to study full-time at a U.S.-approved academic institution, such as a university, college, or language training program. F-1 students must demonstrate financial stability and intent to return home after completing their program.
We assist students and their families by:
- Reviewing school-issued Form I-20 for accuracy
- Preparing for visa interviews at U.S. consulates
- Advising on work authorization options like CPT and OPT
- Guiding transitions to other visa types when appropriate
M-1 Visas (Vocational Students)
The M-1 visa is for students enrolled in vocational or non-academic programs, such as technical training or trade schools. Like F-1 students, M-1 applicants must show they have the financial resources to cover their education and living expenses, as well as plans to leave the U.S. after their studies.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help M-1 applicants:
- Understand program eligibility and timelines
- Navigate consular processing and document requirements
- Avoid common issues that lead to visa delays or denials
Keeping Your Status on Track
Non-immigrant visa holders must comply with U.S. immigration regulations at all times. Overstaying a visa, working without authorization, or failing to follow program requirements can jeopardize your ability to stay in or return to the U.S. in the future.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we work with clients not only to obtain their visas but also to help them maintain lawful status while in the country. Whether you're visiting for a short trip, conducting business, or pursuing your education, we’re here to provide clear, reliable legal guidance throughout your stay.
