WTF...WHY? CHECK OUT THE CAPS... Getting a Visa to Visit the United States Generally, US visas -- or authorization documents -- must be secured by those wishing to enter the United States from another country to temporarily visit or work within American territory. A US visa is usually a stamp or authorization inside a passport. When a traveler approaches a border crossing, airport, or another port of entry, the American visa CAN BE REQUESTED. You may need to show it to officials from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to enter the United States. US visas show that a consular official has determined that a traveler is eligible to enter the US for the purposes outlined in the visa. It is important to note that a US visa does not guarantee entry into the US. Travelers can still be denied entry if DHS or CBP officials determine that a traveler is not eligible to enter the country. ON THE OTHER HAND, TRAVELERS FROM CERTAIN COUNTRIES WHO WISH TO ENTER THE US ON A TEMPORARY BASIS MAY NOT NEED A VISA AT ALL. However, for MOST PEOPLE hoping to enter the US to live and work, a USA visa is an important first step.
