Many residents of different countries require visas to visit or live in the United States. Visas are passport stamps that allow you to travel to different countries. A US visa allows you to plan a trip to or live in the United States. A US visa does not grant you entry into the US. This is determined by officials at any US point of entry, who can detain and return you if they have a reason. Common reasons include security concerns or other suspicions. However, if you meet all of the requirements and do not pose any threats to the United States, its residents, or visitors, you will be allowed to enter the country if you have a visa.

WHAT IS AN IMMIGRANT VISA?
Immigrant visas allow their holders to stay in the United States indefinitely. Whereas a nonimmigrant visa requires the holder to return to their home country when it expires, an immigrant visa does not. It allows you to live, work, and study in the United States, as well as engage in any other activity you desire.
You do not need to renew or extend your immigrant visa once you have obtained it. It is valid indefinitely unless you engage in illegal activity in the United States, in which case your immigrant visa will be revoked. The immigrant visa does not require you to stay in the United States, but you can travel in and out of the country whenever you want without fear of having your visa revoked or cancelled as long as you have a valid Re-entry Permit. Additionally, if you live in the U.S for a specified period of time without any violations, you can also apply for a citizenship and if approved, you will become a U.S citizen.
