What is an indefinite stay visa?
An indefinite stay visa is a type of visa that allows a foreign national to remain in the United States without a set expiration date. This type of visa is often granted to people who have an employment situation in California that requires them to stay for an extended period of time. Typically, indefinite stay visas are issued after the foreign national has already been lawfully admitted to the U.S. and they have been approved for a certain type of employment activity. Indefinite stay visas allow the foreign national to remain in the United States and legally take part in the particular activity for which they were authorized. Examples of activities that require an indefinite stay visa include religious work, law practice, research, teaching, and a few other types of employment activities. Depending on the type of activity, the foreign national may still be required to renew the visa, but the renewal period is not limited by the visa’s expiration date.
