How does an applicant qualify for a visitor visa?
• A: Applicants for visitor visas must show that they qualify under provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The presumption in the law is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Therefore, applicants for visitor visas must overcome this presumption by demonstrating that: • The purpose of their trip is to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical treatment • That they plan to remain for a specific, limited period; and • That they have a residence outside the U.S.
