Millions of foreign visitors travel to the United States each year temporarily for business and pleasure. They come as tourists or to visit family and friends. Others come for specific purposes, such as, medical treatment, a conference, business meeting, or certain types of training. Many of these temporary visitors, traveling for the business and pleasure purposes explained above, need visitor visas to enter the United States. The type of visa you must have is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. Please note: If you want to travel to the United States to study or to work, you will need a different kind of visa. The U.S. government made some changes in visa procedures after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to make sure that both U.S. citizens and visitors are safe. Advance planning by travelers is essential, for them to have their visa when they need it to come to the U.S. For most visa applicants, an interview is required as a standard part of visa processing. Visa applications are evaluated very carefully and take more time now than in the past. Some applications require additional security screening. Improved and automated procedures have considerably sped up visa clearance procedures. People often ask how they can help a family member, relative or friend get a visa to visit them in the United States. We appreciate their desire to help and do understand that sometimes the need for a visit can be urgent. . Under U.S. law, however, applicants for visitor visas must qualify on their own for visas to visit the United States. This is what applicants must do to qualify for visitor visas: Complete and sign the required non-immigrant visa application forms; Bring evidence that their visit is temporary and that they will return home after their legally authorized stay (e.g., evidence of strong financial and familial ties to the home country; return ticket home; only enough cash/travelers checks to support temporary visit to the U.S.; evidence of employment upon return home; etc.); and Undergo security clearance procedures. We understand that you may want to help with the visa process.
