Visa Details -
A visa is issued by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. A visa
entitles the holder to travel to the United States and apply for
admission; it does not guarantee entry. An immigration inspector
at the port of entry determines the visa holder's eligibility for
admission into the United States.
Type of Visa -
Nonimmigrant Visas
The following provides information on visa requirements
for travelers to the United States who wish to visit, work or study
for a temporary period. The type of visa required will depend on
the purpose of your travel. Many travelers seeking to enter the
U.S. for business or tourism for less than 90 days will be eligible
to travel to the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program.
Immigrant Visas
An immigrant visa is required of anyone who wishes to enter
the United States to reside there permanently, whether or not that
person plans to seek employment in the United States. U.S. immigration
law provides for the issuance of immigrant visas in four general
categories: immediate relatives, family based, employment based
and Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, known as the "green card"
lottery.
Document Required -
Fee -
With limited exceptions, nonimmigrant visa applicants aged 14 to
79 are required to schedule an appointment for an interview with
a U.S. consular officer. Interviews are by appointment only. The
Embassy does not accept walk-in applications. Applicants under the
age of 14 or those aged 80 and over may be eligible to apply for
a visa by mail. The application fee is $100.00 or sterling equivalent
which currently equates to £60.00.
