I am planning to “stopover” in the U.S. en route to my final destination (e.g. Canada, Latin America, Caribbean) should I apply for a Tourist (B1/B2) or Transit (C1) visa?
If you intend to visit the United States for any length of time, you should obtain a B1/B2 visa which grants you permission to appear at a Port of Entry for the purpose of entering to visit the United States. If your visit to the U.S. is strictly incidental to your travel to a third country, you may apply for a Transit (C1) visa.
