Non Immigrant Visas

Application Process

If you’re a citizen of a foreign country, in most cases you’ll need a visa to enter the United States.  The process includes application forms and interviews as well as the collection and cross-checking of names in a highly sophisticated inter-agency database. As a visa applicant today, it is important that you recognize that these name-checking and registration processes are necessary and crucial elements that protect our citizens and our visitors, so please allow for extra time in your planning.
