US Visa

The type of visa you will require to enter the United States is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. The best points of contact are the U.S. Department of State’s Business Visa Center or your local U.S. embassy or consulate. If you have a question about what aspects of immigration law and regulation are applicable in certain cases, the State Department’s Office of Visa Services, Public Inquiries section can usually explain the legal aspects of immigration. Information is available to the public by telephone at the Visa Services, Public Inquiries Division by fax at 202 663-3899. The telephone number provides the caller with a selection of pre-recorded information and the ability to talk to a visa specialist during business hours. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for the approval of all immigrant and nonimmigrant petitions, the authorization of permission to work in the U.S., the issuance of extensions of stay, and change or adjustment of an applicant’s status while the applicant is in the U.S.
