Visa Details
Type of Visa -
Student Visas
Students are encouraged to apply for their visas early
to provide ample time for visa processing. Students are advised
of the Department of Homeland Security regulation which requires
that all initial or beginning students enter the U.S. 30 days or
less in advance of the course of study start/report date as shown
on the Form-I-20. All applicants should be prepared to provide:
Tourist/Business Visas
The "visitor" visa is a nonimmigrant visa for persons
desiring to enter the United States temporarily for business (such
as to consult with business associates or travel for a scientific,
educational, professional, or business convention or conference
on specific dates) or for pleasure (such as tourism, amusement,
visits with friends or relatives, rest, medical treatment and activities
of a social nature).
Fiancée Visas
American citizens wishing to bring their foreign citizen
spouse to the U.S. must file a Petition I-130. It is important to
note that application for the nonimmigrant visa for a spouse who
is married to a U.S. citizen must be made, and the visa issued,
in the country where the marriage took place. After visa processing
and the visa is issued, the spouse can travel to the United States
to wait for the processing of the immigrant visa case.
