If you don’t have a local contact, or don’t know where you’ll be staying, you can list the locations you plan to visit while in the United States and activities you have planned, such as visiting Disneyland, or going for shopping. If you’re applying for a tourist visa, and you know where to stay but haven’t made the booking yet, you can still refer to the location in your application. If you’re a student, use the address of your US educational institution. If you are applying for a crewmember visa, you may provide the name and address of the airport or port where you will make your transit.

Not quite. The B1 visa is a business tourist visa intended only for a temporary visit, so you are not allowed to work in the United States. As an exception, you may work as a personal employee or domestic worker on a B1 visa, and additionally you will need to obtain an EAD (or work permit). Your employer needs to be either a U.S. citizen permanently residing abroad, or a legal alien with nonimmigrant status, such as B, E, F, H, I, J, L, M O, P, or Q. If you wish to apply for a change of status, you will have to provide evidence that the opportunity for employment you have found was spontaneous, and that you did not intentionally travel to the US to seek employment. Do not attempt to travel to the US under false pretenses - this could get you in serious trouble with immigration authorities. If you are unsure about how your situation qualifies, speak to one of our visa consultants to find out what your options are.

We sure can! Our consultants have extensive experience with applying for student visas, for students from all over the world. In order to apply, you need to have already been accepted into an accredited educational institution in the U.S., and have obtained your SEVIS ID. Reach out to us to get started.

Even if you only need to transit through the U.S. airport, you still need to apply for and obtain the C1 visa (or an ESTA, if you qualify for one). Additionally, you must present proof of intended departure from the U.S. within no more than 29 days.

Sure, it’s possible. But that will depend on the policy of the local U.S. embassy regarding third-party nationals. If you are a resident in another country, you will usually be able to apply there. If not, it may still be possible, and our team can help you understand the conditions and how they apply to your situation.

This would depend on the type of visa you need, on where you are applying from, and on several personal factors. Our dedicated agents walk you through the visa process from start to finish as fast as possible - by avoiding common mistakes and helping you to collect all the right supporting documents.
