Embark on Your U.S. Journey with Our Skokie Visa Lawyers
The B-2 visa is also known as the “tourist” visa. This visa applies to citizens of foreign countries who wish to visit the United States for a temporary visit for pleasure, medical treatment, or tourism purposes.
A B-2 can be issued in either single-entry or multiple-entry formats. In addition, this visa may also be issued for a limited time frame or on an indefinite basis.
To get started on your application for a B-2 visa, call Gambacorta Law at (847) 443-9303.
Eligibility Criteria for B-2 Tourist Visa Applicants
To procure a B-2 tourist visa, you will have to prove that you meet the eligibility requirements and complete the application process.
The B-2 visa is available to:
- Individuals who wish to come to the U.S. as tourists
- Individuals who wish to visit friends and relatives in the U.S. for a short time
- Individuals who need to come to the U.S. for medical treatment
- Foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. to marry a U.S. citizen or green card holder
- Amateur musicians, entertainers, athletes, and performers who plan to participate in an activity or event related to their field without compensation
- Foreign nationals participating in a social organization’s convention in the U.S.
- The dependents of foreign national members of the U.S. armed forces who are temporarily stationed in the U.S.
- Foreign nationals entering the U.S. seeking special naturalization benefits for U.S. military service
The B-2 visa will only be issued to applicants who can demonstrate the financial resources that would accommodate round-trip travel to and from the United States as well as payment of all living expenses during the temporary visit. If you are the individual with a B-2 status, you are not allowed to engage in unauthorized employment in the United States and must only engage in legitimate activities. Moreover, you must prove to the consular officer that you will return abroad upon completing your temporary visit for pleasure.
Study Opportunities on a B-2 Visa
You may also be able to enter the U.S for certain types of study on a B-2 visa. If you are traveling to the United States for tourism and at the same time you want to take a short course of study, that is taken as recreational and not for credit toward a degree. The course must be less than 18 hours per week. Students must also check with the school or program they wish to attend and with the U.S. consular officer in their home country to determine if they can use a tourist visa for their specific school or program.
