Citizens of a foreign country (“Alien”) who seek to enter the U.S. temporarily for travel, study, or other legitimate personal or business related matters generally must first obtain a visa from a U.S. consulate. However, most Aliens from visa waiver program participating countries are allowed to enter the U.S for less than 90 days without first obtaining a visa.

Upon Arrival, Alien must maintain his or her non-immigration status and fulfill the promise to the U.S consulate where he or she obtained the visa. Alien may be allowed to change his or her non-immigration status after 60 days of entering the U.S.
