What is a visa?
A visa allows the bearer to seek entry to the U.S. to perform certain activities, e.g. tourism, study, research, according to the visa classification. A visitor (B) visa is only for temporary non-working business or pleasure visits, and a return to your home overseas. A B visa is not for study, work or eventual residence in the U.S. A valid visa is no guarantee of entry to the U.S. An immigration inspector of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), determines if, under what conditions and for how long, a visa holder may enter the U.S., see For International Visitors.
Visa Validity and Duration of Stay in the U.S.:
The visa expiration date equals the last day you may use it to seek entry to the U.S. The expiration date is not the last day you are allowed to remain in the U.S. The CBP inspector will decide your length of stay using an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94 and I-94W) and affix it to your passport. If you violate the terms of your visa or entry you may be deported or barred from the U.S. Please see Visit the US for information on extension of stay.
Entry Procedures:
When you enter the U.S., the CBP inspector will take your photo and scan your fingerprints again.
