Temporary Visa Expiring: What to Do

Is your temporary visa expiring? Don’t wait – here is what to do:

Start the process 6 months early: filing early protects you if there are delays.

Know what your visa allows: Some visas can be extended, others require switching to a different status entirely.  

Explore a path to a green card: many temporary visas can be a stepping stone to a permanent residency.
