There’s a lot of conversation surrounding Prince Harry’s visa drama, but the one thing we don’t know, besides the information on his application, is what type of visa he actually has. Trial lawyer Neama Rahmani told Nicki Swift about the different types Harry may have applied for upon immigrating. “Prince Harry’s visa type isn’t public. It may be a diplomatic visa, but he is no longer an official representative of the British government,” Rahmani explained. “It could be a normal work visa, O-1 extraordinary visa, a tourist visa, spouse visa, or EB-5.” Regardless of the visa Harry has, every single one requires an application process, per Travel State Gov.
It’s ultimately Prince Harry’s visa application itself, not the type of visa, that can affect his future in the U.S. Rahmani told Nicki Swift, “Admitted drug use is usually enough to keep an immigrant out of the country.” Based on his memoir, we know that Harry has taken drugs in the past. However, Rahmani explained how traditionally, if there aren’t any past legal issues with drug use, then the U.S. might put it on the back burner. “Absent an arrest or conviction, the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t aggressively enforce this provision and revoke Visas for people already in the United States.”
In other words, it’s possible Prince Harry could get off easy on his visa situation, but the high profile of his case could cause complications.
