Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I stay in the United States with a visitor visa?
The visa itself allows you to travel to a US port of entry.
The immigration officer will determine how long you may stay, often up to six months, depending on your circumstances.
Can I work with a visitor visa?
No. Visitor visas are not work visas. Working without authorization can have serious immigration consequences.
Does having relatives in the United States guarantee approval?
No. Family connections alone do not determine whether a visa will be issued.
Is travel history required?
Not necessarily.
While previous international travel can sometimes strengthen an application, many first-time international travelers are approved each year.
