I Visa |
| |
The I Visa is
a vital tool in a global system, where
news and cultures are shared and
dispatched across national lines. The I
Visa is available to media employees
including reporters, freelance
journalists and film crew members;
mainstream filmmakers are not eligible
for this status. I visas are available
to persons only to work for a foreign
media outlet, or a U.S.-based subsidiary
of a foreign media company.
Your spouse and unmarried children under
the age of 21 may be eligible for a
derivative I status. Your employer must
offer a letter detailing your position.
I visas, however, are not available to
fiancs.
If your spouse or children wish to visit
you in the U.S., they may choose to
apply for a B-2 visa. They may also be
eligible to travel under the Visa Waiver
Program.
Steps
Just submit your visa application to the
American Consulate or Embassy in your
home country. Either mail the documents,
use a drop slot at the U.S. Embassy or
Consulate or apply in person.
Documents
The Embassy or consulate will ask to see
the following documents:
- A filled-in visa application
Form OF-156.
- One recent photograph 1 & 1/2
inches square (37mm x 37mm) of each
applicant, with the entire face
visible. The picture should be taken
before a light background and
without head covering.
- A passport, valid for travel to
the United States for at least six
months longer than your intended
visit.
- A letter from your employer
detailing your position and expected
stay in the U.S.
