Requirements for qualifications

Passport is valid for six months after your planned stay in the United States. Children must have a visa issued on an individual basis, even if they are on a parent’s passport. Visitor visa applicants must demonstrate that they qualify under the terms of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Applicants must show that they are properly identified as tourists under U.S. law. The presumption in the law is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Visitor visa applicants must therefore overcome this presumption by demonstrating:

• That the purpose of their trip is to enter the United States for business, pleasure, or medical treatment;
• That they intend to continue for a short period of time;
• Evidence of funds to cover expenditure in the United States;
• Evidence of compelling social and economic links abroad;
• That they have a home outside the U.S. as well as other binding links that will guarantee their return abroad at the end of the tour.

A visitor visa is a form of non-immigrant visa for persons wishing to enter the United States temporarily for business (B-1) or pleasure, travel or medical care (B-2).
