B-2 Visa for Tourists
B-2 Tourist Visas are required for citizens of countries that are not included
in the Visa Waiver Program who wish to visit the United States for leisure or
tourism. But citizens of countries included in the Visa Waiver Program are
required to obtain a B-2 visa if they plan to stay for longer than 90 days in
the U.S., or to change status to other nonimmigrant visa, or adjust status to
permanent resident (Green Card) after entering the country. The maximum length
of stay for visitor visa holders is 6 months and the immigration officer at the
port of entry determines how long each visitor is allowed to stay in the
country, though the majority of visitors are allowed a six month stay.
B-2 Visa for Medical Treatment
Individuals who are coming to the United States to undergo medical treatment are
also issued B-2 Visas. There is a similar application process to that of a
Tourist Visa, but additional documents must be submitted to establish applicant
qualifies for the visa. The B-2 Tourist Visa Application Guide describes the
list of required documents and the application process.
Important Warning for Tourist Visa Holders:
Individuals admitted to the U.S. on
a B-2 Tourist Visa cannot by law work or receive any kind of payment while
staying in the U.S. United States Foreign nationals who wish to work must apply
for a work visa, such as the H-1B Visa or H-2B Visa.
