Temporary Visas - Visitor Visa 

Purpose: 

This Visitor Visa Kit is to help a person complete and file his or her own application for a temporary U.S. (B-1) (B-2) Visitor Visa. We have created a very simple and user friendly step by step guide to help you complete this process as efficiently as possible. You will also be given information on what to expect when confronting the Immigration Naturalization Service and American consulate.

Information: 

Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. The "visitor" visa is a nonimmigrant visa for people desiring to enter the United States temporarily for business (B-1) or for pleasure or medical treatment (B-2). 

People planning to travel to the U.S. for a different purpose such as students, temporary workers, crewmen, journalists, etc., must apply for a different visa in the appropriate category. The consular officer can provide additional information. Travelers from certain eligible countries may also be able to visit the U.S. without a visa on the Visa Waiver Pilot Program.
