لمن هذا الدليل

For tourism and business, H-1B or L-1 work, F-1 study, and anyone in a backlog who needs to know that non-immigrant status is not a green card.

الزيارة ومدة الإقامة

Visa Waiver passports obtain ESTA before departure, usually up to 90 days, with no extension and almost no switch to work status. Chinese, Indian and other passports need B-1/B-2 after an interview. The matrix is an access class, not a promise of admission.

العمل والإقامة

Temporary work is often H-1B (capped, lottery), L-1 transfer or O-1. Study is F-1 plus OPT. Founders without an employer need another fit. Dual intent varies: H/L are more tolerant; B/F/ESTA are not.

الإقامة الدائمة والجنسية

Green cards come from family, EB employment, EB-5 investment or asylum. Employment categories have backlogs by place of birth. Naturalisation is usually five years as a resident (three for some spouses), plus presence, English and civics. Visit time does not count.

Time to PR：Depends on category and backlog, not a single clock

أسئلة شائعة

Can you change from ESTA to H-1B inside the US?

Visa-waiver admission generally cannot change status. In practice you leave and re-enter in the new status after USCIS approval.

Does a selected H-1B equal a green card?

No. H-1B is non-immigrant work status. A green card needs PERM / I-140 / I-485 or a family path, often with a wait.

Does a Chinese passport need a visa?

On this site’s matrix the result is “تأشيرة مطلوبة”. confirm length of stay with the destination. The port and mission are authoritative.
