Q-1 Visa: International Cultural Exchange Visitors
Together with the mandatory documents, you must bring the following supporting documents:
- Original Form I-797, Notice of Action
- Original Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker
- Proof that you have a residence abroad you do not intend to abandon
Further Instructions & Information:
- Issuance of a visa is not guaranteed because you bring supporting documents
- A Consular Officer relies mainly on the oral visa interview to determine eligibility for a visa
- Present only valid documents. Fraud or misrepresentation can result in permanent ineligibility for a U.S. visa
- If your spouse/child needs to travel to the U.S., in most circumstances they will need a visitor visa (B-2 Visa)
- It is the responsibility of the nonimmigrant visa applicant to prove to the Consular Officer that they do not intend to immigrate
