Answer 2

here are some informations that concerns you :

Visit the US :

A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to enter the United States (U.S.) temporarily for a specific purpose. Nonimmigrants enter the U.S. for a temporary period of time, and once in the U.S. are restricted to the activity or reason for which their visa was issued. They may have more than one type of nonimmigrant visa but are admitted in only one status.

General requirements for foreign nationals seeking temporary admission include, but are not limited to, the following:

The purpose of the visit must be temporary;

The foreign national must agree to depart at the end of his/her authorized stay or extension;

The foreign national must be in possession of a valid passport;

A foreign residence must be maintained by the foreign national, in most instances;

The foreign national may be required to show proof of financial support;

The foreign national must be admissable or have obtained a waiver for any ground of inadmissability;

The foreign national must abide by the terms and conditions of admission.

please note :

APPLY EARLY! Current security regulations may require some visa applications to undergo several weeks' processing. Since this processing cannot be accelerated, it is your responsibility to apply for your visa well in advance of your scheduled travel.

Applicants should never assume their application will automatically be approved--even if they have been issued previous U.S. visas. Final travel plans or the purchase of nonrefundable tickets should not be made until a visa has been issued.

Visa Processing

Remember, apply early! Here's why: Though our visa processing time is typically 1 day, the processing time of a specific case may vary due to individual circumstances and other special requirements. When you apply for a visa, you will be checked against available records of people who are ineligible for visas or those whose applications require additional review by U.S. agencies before a visa can be issued. If your name or a close variation indicates that a further investigation of your application is needed, your visa application will require additional processing time--this can take several weeks. In these cases, we work diligently to minimize any impact on your travel.
