How do I get a visa to come to the U.S.?
A citizen of a foreign country wishing to enter the U.S., generally must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence from a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad. The type of visa you must have is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. These items assist in explaining new visa policies and procedures for visitors to the United States -- a nation with secure borders and open doors.

If you are visiting permanently, see Permanent Immigrants to the U.S.
