Visa Details
Type of Visa -
Immigrant Visas
An immigrant visa is required of anyone who wishes to
enter the United States to reside there indefinitely, whether or
not that person plans to seek employment in the United States.
Non-Immigrant Visa
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to
enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant
visa for temporary stays, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence.
The "B" Visitor Visa is a nonimmigrant visa for persons
desiring to enter the United States temporarily for business (B-1),
or temporarily for pleasure (B-2). Persons planning to travel to
the U.S. for a different purpose such as students, temporary workers,
crewmen, journalists, etc., must apply for a different visa in the
appropriate category. The consular officer can provide additional
information.
