Visa information for international w88 live casino

The words "w88 live casino" and "lawful status" in the United States are very closely related, but are not exactly the same. Understanding the differences can be important, especially because the validity period of a w88 live casino can be either shorter or longer than the length of time a person is allowed to remain in the U.S. legally during any one stay.

What is the difference between w88 live casino and status?

A "w88 live casino" is a document allowing its holder to travel to a U.S. border or port of entry (such as an airport) and request permission from the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to enter the United States. As long as there are no other issues preventing the w88 live casino holder from entering (and the w88 live casino itself hasn't already expired), the CBP officer will grant the person lawful "status" in the United States. This "status" constitutes permission to remain for a certain length of time. So, for example, you might enter the U.S. on a B-2 visitor w88 live casino, then be granted B-2 status.

If that sounds painfully simple, realize that it doesn't always happen this way. You can gain or switch to another "status" in the U.S. after having already arrived here. For example, you could enter the U.S. on a B-2 w88 live casino, then apply to change status to F-1, in order to attend school.
