Which U.S. visa do I need?
Answer two or three plain questions. We will show the visa type to read about, and where to see how many are issued, how often they are approved and how long the interview wait is.
Question 1
What is the main reason for your trip?
Choosing a visa in short
How do I know which U.S. visa I need?
It depends on why you are going. Visiting or a short business trip is usually a B-1/B-2 visa, study is usually F-1, and work depends on the job, for example H-1B for jobs that need a degree. This guide asks two or three questions and shows the visa to read about.
Is this legal advice?
No. It points you to the visa type to read about. Every case is different, so check the State Department's website and your embassy before you apply.
What if I want to live in the U.S.?
Living permanently is a green card, not a visa on this list. See the green card, Visa Bulletin and priority date pages.
