Immigrant visas to the U.S. are the visas allowing foreigners to immigrate to the U.S. for the purpose of residence and employment without restrictions existing for holders of non-immigrant visas.
Immigrants are essential to keeping the American economy strong and, in industries from fast food to high tech, they fill an intrinsic need in the labor force. Several classes of business immigration visas allow workers, with skills in demand by U.S. employers, to be admitted to the United States to work on a temporary or permanent basis.
