Non-Immigrant Visas
Welcome to the Non-Immigrant Visa (NIV) Unit
The U.S. welcomes temporary travelers with open doors and secure borders. Foreign travelers to the U.S. make great contributions to the American economy, culture, and education. Many nationals, including Algerians, must have a visa to travel to the U.S.
Only a U.S. consular officer may issue a U.S. visa. Most visa applicants must have an interview with a U.S. consular officer before he or she can determine visa eligibility.
