Temporary Visitors to the U.S.
Welcome to the site for Non-Immigrant Visas. The NIV units at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and the U.S. Consulate General in Krakow serve Polish citizens who are seeking visas for temporary visits to the United States.
The links on consecutive pages provide information about the various types of temporary visas, as well as information regarding how to apply for a temporary visa.
Millions of foreign visitors travel to the U.S. each year. Others come to live here permanently. International visitors and immigrants add greatly to our nation's cultural, education and economic life. We welcome them. At the same time we need to do everything we can to keep everyone in the U.S. safe. We believe in secure borders and open doors.

Nonimmigrant visas are for international travelers (citizens of other countries) coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (airport, for example) and request permission of the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Patrol immigration inspector to enter the U.S. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.
International travelers come to the U.S. for a wide variety of reasons, including tourism, business, medical treatment and certain types of temporary work. The type of visa needed is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel.
