Travelling to the United States is not simple but not impossible either. The U.S. government's immigration policy is known to be tough, in part to protect the country from threats. As a result, all travelers must first apply for entry into the country, which will then be materialized in the form of a USA visa or an ESTA. In this article we will come back in detail on the different types of visa.
How to obtain a visa for the USA?
As mentioned above, it is mandatory to have an administrative authorization in order to travel to the United States. To do so, simply make an appointment with the American embassy closest to your place of residence. There are different types of visa (tourist visa, work visa, cultural exchange visa, J1 or F1 visa for studies, etc.) depending on the purpose of your trip and your professional situation.
Another type of visa, the green card is a permanent residence permit issued by the United States government allowing you to live and work freely on American soil. It is accessible according to drastic regulations based on work, family reunification or marriage.
Regardless of the type of visa requested, an interview at the U.S. Embassy is an inevitable step in the visa application process. In English, you will have to explain your motivations for going to the United States. Make sure that you are well prepared, by gathering all the necessary documents (your passport, among others) and preparing answers to the questions you will be asked.
The E1/E2 visas as well as the B1/B2 and L1 visas are more detailed in articles dedicated to them.
What is the alternative to the visa for the USA?
If you are a citizen of one of the countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program, you will not necessarily need a visa to travel to the United States. In fact, this program allows the issuance of ESTA, authorizing travelers to travel to the United States for tourist or business purposes. It is a cheaper alternative (the application fee is 14 dollars minimum) and faster (you will receive a response to your request within 72 hours) than the classic visa.
To obtain an ESTA, nothing could be easier: simply fill out the form available on the official US Customs website or access a specialized private assistance platform.
