US Visa Photos :: General Info

A US visa is issued by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. A visa entitles the holder to travel to the United States and apply for admission; it does not guarantee entry. An immigration inspector at the port of entry determines the visa holder's eligibility for admission into the United States.

Anyone who is not eligible to enter the United States visa free under the US Visa Waiver Program or is not exempt from the US visa requirement. Please note: Travelers born in the United States and those who hold dual citizenship with the United States must enter and depart the United States on US passports.
