Tourism and visits

Vacations, family visits, social events and short stays are commonly connected to temporary visitor travel.

Temporary business

Meetings, conferences, negotiations and limited business activities need clear trip purpose, timing and outside-U.S. ties.

Renewal

Applicants with a previous visa may need prior visa details, passport data, travel history and updated personal information.

Family travel

Family groups may share trip context, but each applicant still needs individual and consistent information.
