Where do I find additional information about visa stamp processing overseas?
Most foreign nationals entering the U.S. in a nonimmigrant status (e.g., temporary work visa status like L or H status) must have a current and valid passport, along with a current and valid visa stamp. Visa stamps must be obtained through a scheduled appointment at a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas. Each consulate has its own unique procedures and requires different documents for nonimmigrant visa applications. Processing times vary from consulate to consulate so business and personal travel should be planned well in advance if a visa stamp will be required. Additional documents may also be required for readmission back into the U.S. For more information, please see: U.S. Embassy and Consulate Web Sites.
