Entry Requirements
Nonimmigrant visas are for international travelers (citizens of other countries) coming to the U.S. temporarily. The visa, placed in your passport when issued, allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (Honolulu International Airport, for example) and request permission of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection immigration officer to enter the United States. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.

U.S. visa policy permits citizens of certain countries to travel to the United States without a visa when they meet certain requirements under U.S. laws. For information about travel without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visa-waiver-program.html. Citizens of Canada and Bermuda generally do not need visas for tourism and visits.

Citizens of countries that are not eligible to travel to the United States without a visa should take the following steps to obtain a visa AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:

1. Determine visa type: See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wizard.html If there is any question regarding the appropriate visa type, please contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for further guidance.

2. Determine where to apply: Apply through the U.S. embassy or consulate where you will be available to appear for an interview. U.S. embassies and consulates are listed at http://www.usembassy.gov.

3. Submit application and schedule an interview: The website of the U.S. embassy or consulate will provide detailed instructions on the application process, submission of the online visa application form, payment of applicable fees, scheduling the interview, and requesting an expedited appointment, if needed. If you have difficulty scheduling an interview, contact the U.S. Department of State Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs, c/o Jonathan Kelsey (+1-202-647-6927, kelseyj@state.gov).

What to bring to the interview: The embassy or consulate website will list all required documents that must be presented at the time of the interview. Please note that submitting required documents and/or an invitation to an event does not guarantee issuance of a visa. All applicants for a visitor visa (B-1/B-2) will need to overcome Immigration & Nationality Act 214(b), which stipulates that every non-immigrant visa applicant is presumed to be an intending immigrant to the United States until the applicant proves otherwise. When evaluating immigrant intent, consular officers look for solid reasons that indicate the applicant will be returning abroad after his/her visit. In doing this, they take into consideration the totality of an applicant’s situation, including, but not limited to, profession, property ownership, socio-economic status, as well as family and community ties. During the interview, the consul may request supplementary documentation or additional proof of solvency. Such documentation may include resume and list of publications and research projects. Some visa applications require additional administrative processing, which requires some additional time. Applicants will be informed during the interview if additional administrative processing is required. During the interview, most applicants will also be required to provide quick, inkless fingerprint scans.
