A2 vs. G2 - which is preferred?

[PIMCO 0]

My employer allows me to choose between the two types.

So, which type of visa is easiest to renew/extend, most flexible in regards to travelling abroad and offers the most "diplomatic immunity" type qualities?

Reason for asking is simply because I want to be strategical and think long-term.

Thanks in advance.

Why aren't you asking these questions to your company's lawyer?

And you're already thinking of diplomatic immunity? Are you kidding me?

good luck

That's not really helpful, now is it?

Which is the right visa would depend on the nature of the work.

I don't have much experience with either of these visa but I believe on A2 you are representing your govt and would be working on behalf of your govt in US, while G2 is for international organization both are diplomatic visa.

If you are worried about diplomatic immunity and things I think lawyer would be a better person or you can talk to ppl from your organization who have used either of these visas in past.
