Temporary visas (Nonimmigrant visas) are for international travelers coming to the U.S. temporarily, the travelers come to the U.S. for a wide variety of reasons, including tourism, business, medical treatment and certain types of temporary work.

Some visas are considered 'dual intent'; you may attempt to obtain permanent residency (a green card) while under that classification. Most temporary visas, however, require you establish the demonstration of nonimmigrant intent. This means you should demonstrate that you have a permanent residence in your home country that you have no intention of abandoning. The duration of time you may spend in the U.S. can range from a few days to several years, depending on the visa.

In most situations, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may accompany you on a derivative visa.
