How long can a free traveler stay in the United States?

First, free travel in the United States can generally stay for 3 months or even longer, depending on the type of certification applied for B-2.

B-2 American tourist visas can be divided into three months, 1 year, three years, five years, 10 year and permanent, and the number of entry times can also be divided into one-time and multiple-entry visas. American embassies and consulates in different countries or regions, or different consuls in the same consulate, have great discretion over the validity or number of entry visas. It is easier for Hong Kong residents to apply for a B-2 visa valid for multiple entry of 1 ~ 5 years, and it is easier for mainland residents of China to apply for a B-2 visa valid for three months to 1 year, with one or more entry.

The validity of American visa refers to the period from the date of issuance of the visa to the future, after which the visa will be invalid. Generally, the entry visa issued by the United States is valid for one year.

4. The validity period of the US visa:

If the applicant is allowed to enter the United States, customs and border protection officials will specify the applicant's stay in the United States on the entry and exit records. After each admission to the United States, the applicant should ensure that he leaves the United States on or before the last day of the approved stay period according to the specific departure date specified in the entry-exit record form. Failure to leave the United States before the prescribed deadline will result in the applicant losing his legal status.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Note:

When applying for a visa, you can only bring necessary documents such as passport, application form and visa fee receipt. Other personal belongings are not allowed to be brought into the visa office, including mobile phones, bags and USB flash drives.

Sixth, the new policy:

From March 20 16 13, the new US visa application procedure will be activated. The new system will make it easier for applicants to arrange visa interviews, pay visa fees and check visa issuance. After the launch of the new program, applicants will be able to use the new online system to make an appointment for a visa interview in the United States and check their application status. At the same time, the service of the original telephone reservation center will remain, but the new call center will be announced in the middle of next month. Booking an interview online will shorten the average waiting time of applicants to 2 to 4 days, and applicants usually get their passports with visa pages 1 to 2 working days after interviewing visa officers. In the existing application process, China citizens need to pay three fees when applying for a non-immigrant visa in the United States, namely, an appointment fee (36 yuan -54 yuan RMB), a visa processing fee (160 USD) and a passport mailing fee (32 yuan RMB). In the new application procedure, the applicant's booking fee and passport mailing fee will be cancelled, and China applicants only need to pay the visa processing fee of US$ 65,438+US$ 060.
