Business
or Pleasure Visitors
Generally,
a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States
must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary
stay or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. The visitor visa
is a nonimmigrant visa for persons desiring to enter the United
States temporarily for business (B-1) or for pleasure or medical
treatment (B-2). Persons planning to travel to the U.S. for a different
purpose, such as students, temporary workers, crewmen, journalists,
etc, must apply for a different visa in the appropriate category.
Qualifying for a Visa
Applicants
for visitor visas must show that they qualify under provisions of
the Immigration and Nationality Act. The presumption in the law
is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant.
Therefore, applicants for visitor visas must overcome this presumption
by demonstrating that:
- The purpose
of their trip is to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or
medical treatment;
- They plan
to remain for a specific, limited period; and
- They have
a residence outside the U.S. as well as other binding ties which
will insure their return abroad at the end of the visit.
