Companies that are initiating or already maintain business relations with the USA are confronted with a number of forms. However, foreign students or tourists to the USA also have to provide a wide variety of documents. Instead of customs declaration or tax forms, this page focuses on the most important US visa application forms. Here you will find all relevant information on the forms you need to apply for US visas. We will be happy to assist you in filling out the visa forms and preparing the application documentation.
There are US visa forms and documents that you will encounter again and again as part of the visa application process. Nevertheless, applicants must be aware that depending on the visa category, in addition to the usual visa forms, very different forms and documents must be completed and attached to the visa application.
We therefore provide an overview of the essential visa forms – peppered with hints and tips for filling them out – as well as the option of downloading the original forms from the US authorities.
