You may apply for a visa when USCIS has approved your petition. Complete Form DS-160 online and upload your photo.

알아두면 좋은 정보
- Most applicants for temporary worker visas must have an approved petition. The prospective employer must file the petition on behalf of the applicant.
- A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port-of-entry have authority to permit or deny admission to the United States.
