TEMPORARY I VISA FOR JOURNALISTS

New Jersey Immigration Attorneys Promoting Foreign Media

The United States government permits representatives of foreign media to travel to the United States to participate in journalism and other forms of media on behalf of their institution or corporation from their home country. Just like another visa, the I visa is attainable only through certain qualifications and has limitations that its holders need to be aware of. Our New Jersey Immigration Attorney explains.

Who Is Eligible for the Visa?

In order to qualify for the I nonimmigrant visa, all of the following must be true:

  • You have an office in the country you operate out of.
  • You’re going to the United States only for the purpose of your profession.
  • You represent a foreign media outlet.
  • Your activities for this media outlet are necessary to the function of it.
  • The consular officer at the U.S. embassy has approved your activities.

How Long Can I Stay on an I Visa? Can I Bring Family?

Typically, your admission is authorized for duration of status and no application to extend will be required if there is continued employment for the medial outlet. Spouses and children can accompany I visa holders. However, spouses cannot work.
