Do participants in United Nations internships qualify for a G-4 visa?
G-4 visas are not appropriate in this case. A B-1 visa may be appropriate if you have attained a bachelor or higher degree (or equivalent) and the proposed duties are in a specialty occupation, related to your degree. If you believe that you may be eligible for a B-1 visa you are required to apply for a visa. At the time of application you should enclose a letter from the UN which discusses in detail the internship together with evidence of your academic qualifications. NOTE: Interns working at their country’s mission to the UN or the EU delegation require exchange visitor (J-1) or temporary work (H-2) visas. However, if you meet the requirements for B-1 visas as described above, you may also be eligible for a B-1 visa.
