Can I go to the United States on a family visa?

You are not allowed to go to the United States on a visa. There are two kinds of visas to the United States, one is an immigrant visa and the other is a non-immigrant visa. Immigrant visas are for obtaining green cards and American citizenship. Non-immigrant visas are mainly short-term or tourist visas, and only temporary short-term stays in the United States are allowed, although the stay may last for several years. Dependent on a visa is a dependent person.
