VISA Information

Millions of foreign visitors travel to the United States each year for business or pleasure. They come as tourists or to visit family and friends. Others come for specific purposes, such as business, scientific, educational, or professional conferences/conventions, training, or consulting with business associates. Other foreign visitors come for diverse reasons, as examples, including medical treatment, for voluntary programs conducted by charitable organizations, as visiting ministers, or personal/domestic employees, under certain conditions. Some foreign athletes and sports teams may come to the U.S. with visitors visas. Most of these visitors need B-1/B-2 visitors visas to enter the United States.
