Immigration Visa Information

What is a visa and what do I need it for?

How can I get a visa?

For all immigrant visas except those won through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, you must first apply with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. After receiving approval from the INS, you then must go to your local U.S. consulate to complete your processing.

If you fall under the following nonimmigrant categories apply for a visa at the Department of State

• Diplomatic and other government officials, and their families and employees
• Temporary visitors for business or pleasure
• Aliens in Transit
• Crewmen
• International Traders and Investors
• Representatives to international organizations and their families and employees
• Representatives of foreign media and their families
• Exchange Visitors and their families
• Religious Workers

I got my Visa. Is that all I need to come to the US?

No. Once you receive an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa you are authorized to travel to the United States. However, a visa does not guarantee that you will be allowed to enter the United States. The INS has authority to grant or deny your admission to the United States and determine how long you may stay in the United States if admitted. You will have to go through the Inspection process at your port of entry and then be admitted in. .

If you have questions regarding any of these immigration law issues, see our FAQ's page and/or seek out an immigration attorney (lawyer) in your area for help.
